Knowledge/Success Matrix

 

In my book, Strong Schools, Strong Leaders, I discuss the “Knowledge/Success Matrix,” a mental process associating “success” and “failure” with “knowing” and “not knowing.”

Whether your district or school is achieving great gains on high stakes tests or not, my question to you is this: Do you know exactly what is leading to those results—in other words, are you regularly operating in Quadrant 1?

If you are in fact getting the results you are expecting, and you know precisely why, I’d love to hear comments on what tools/processes you use to monitor your progress.
