Boone on goal setting

This was largely in response to Mullaney's comments about this being in vain unless this makes a difference in the classroom

More likely to get an impact with fewer goals; more with less
"your frustration is the right frustration"

She suggests sorting by strategic goals of the district: alignment
which is what I started to do, if you saw me copying and pasting during the meeting

The WPS strategic goals are:
  1. Worcester Public Schools will implement strategies that result in high student achievement.
  2. Worcester Public Schools will develop and maintain welcoming, safe, and secure schools.
  3. Worcester Public Schools will foster high levels of family and community engagement, commitment, and partnership.
  4. Worcester Public Schools will develop a formal communication system in order to better transfer information on effective practices and needs.
(Oxford/Harvard commas added.)
