Delivery Research Brief – Not another meeting: How performance management routines help education systems deliver on their goals for students

 

In the second of a series of research briefs from EDI, we ask what data from the field can tell us about the ways in which leaders keep their systems focused on their goals through regular conversations about progress. Not another meeting: How performance management routines help education systems deliver on their goals for students considers five years’ data from “capacity reviews” and examines the challenges leaders face in holding conversations that are regular, effective and focused on taking action to improve performance. The data shows common and widespread challenges, but there are also bright spots: we hear in particular from colleagues in Massachusetts, Tennessee and Colorado who have turned the humble meeting into an engine that drives delivery for students.
