What would happen if...?

What would happen if...?
  • Your school defined its God-given mission in terms of measurable student learning by developing student objectives (also known as expected student outcomes, school-wide goals, and expected student learning results)?
  • Your board members asked your administrators to report for 15 minutes at each board meeting on student objective achievement?
  • Your administrators used 15 minutes at each faculty meeting to analyze student objective achievement?
  • Your teachers assessed student achievement of the student objectives?
  • Your students assessed their learning in terms of the student objectives and used their assessment results to develop SMART goals?
  • Your parents helped their children achieve their SMART goals?
  • All your stakeholders focused on a SMART goal related to increasing student objective achievement?
If some or all of this happened, would you be closer to proving the value of Christian education? Would you be closing the gap between the rhetoric of the mission and reality of classroom?
