SMART Goal Accomplishments
30. Dunlap Community Unit School District 323
Strategic Plan – Goal
Goal Area: CERT Goal Champion: Erik Christian
1.) State the SMART goal (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results‐oriented, Target date).
During the 2012‐2013 school year, the Certified Evaluation Revision Team (CERT) will implement the certified staff evaluation tool, using the
iObservation software. The tool will be communicated to all certified staff and administrators, and will include training on the tool and its impacts. This
goal will be measured by 1) the existence of the tool and artifacts; and 2) the implementation of training on the use of the tool and artifacts.
2.) Describe data sources consulted and a summary analysis of the data that indicate the need for the goal.
Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching is widely regarded as best practice in teacher evaluation. Staff had attended several training sessions by
the Consortium for Educational Change and consulted with other school districts who have implemented the Framework, relying upon their experience
and sample tools and artifacts.
3.) Identify the correlation of the stated school improvement goal to the District strategic plan.
Check all that apply:
GOAL 1: To Continuously Improve Student Growth and Achievement
GOAL 2: To Obtain a Satisfying and Productive Classroom and School Learning Environment
GOAL 3: To Achieve a Satisfying and Productive Classroom and School Teaching Environment
GOAL 4: To Ensure a Satisfying and Productive Partnership with Families and the Community
GOAL 5: To Obtain Efficient, Effective, and Equitable Use of Resources
4.) Summarize how this goal will be measured. What will be the evidence of goal attainment?
This goal will be measured by the implementation of data warehousing.
Evidence of attaining this goal will be the creation of the Certified Staff Evaluation Tool and the training of staff on the tool.

1.) State the SMART goal (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results‐oriented, Target date).
During the 2012‐2013 school year, metrics will be developed to measure the status and progress of various Human Resources initiatives. This goal will
be measured by 1) the identification and definition of the specific metrics; and 2) quarterly analysis reports to the Superintendent on the metrics.
2.) Describe data sources consulted and a summary analysis of the data that indicate the need for the goal.
The Dunlap School District is a data‐driven organization and the HR activities align with that vision. Also, the Society for Human Resource Management
and the International Personnel Management Association for Human Resources identify that HR metrics play a crucial role in workforce planning and
performance.
