Discipline 2: Act on the Lead Measures

Home

Discipline 1

Lead measures are predictive and influenceable.

Discipline 2 A

"Over the years, we've seen thousands of leaders learn that an important key to execution is putting a disproportionate energy against the leverage points by focusing on moving lead measures. If you have a big rock to move, you're going to need a lever that his highly predictive and controllable. The bigger the rock, the more leverage you will need." ( McChesney et al., 2012, pg 57)

Discipline 1

Lag measures are driven by the performance of the team, however their measurements focus on actions and results that have already happened. By focusing on the lead measures and engaging within the Virtual PLC, seconday math educators may notice and even keep track of other lag measures. A few examples of possible lag measures are shown below:

Discipline 2 B

Geometry Team

Discipline 3 A

Educators would have rings of data for each week. Each ring would indicate different data that is being collected for that week. All sets of rings would be visible within the Virtual PLC for eveyone to see across the secondary campuses.

WIG Meetings with Campus PLC

Discipline 3 A

Each secondary math teacher has a smaller group of educators on their campus that meet at least weekly to follow the PLC process as defined by Richard Dufour and Solution Tree. A weekly WIG meeting could take place during one of these meetings.
