Building Blocks of a Strong School
Outcome: Measurable results achieved by the school
Driver: A series of expectations. Meeting these expectations leads to growth in outcomes.
Foundation: The foundation is different from the drivers. A foundation is applied across all drivers. It answers the question, "how do we get people who influence the drivers to succeed?"

Schools KPIs = the key to People Management
Ensures that school leader is objective, not subjective about teacher's progress
Teachers and school leaders are on the same page about what "exceeds, meets, approaches or is below expectations" and how those are measured.
Enables conversations between the teacher and school leader that uncover root causes of issues, and unlock improvement
