Managing performance through achievement impact presentations

Carter, Kimberly M. Despite numerous efforts to improve schools and districts across the country, a significant number of students continue to be left behind. Increased accountability pressures require that district leaders seek ways to monitor achievement and organize systems that promote progress, improvement, and success. Although the literature is rich with information about the key factors that influence student achievement, there is little guidance in the literature about specific practices that promote continuous improvement at the school and district level. Given the urgency of change needed in many urban districts, this study seeks to explore and examine how school and district leaders use performance management processes to improve teaching and learning. Using a qualitative case study approach, the researcher seeks to add to the body of literature on school and district reform by describing the efforts of an underperforming district to implement systematic performance management practices aimed at promoting on-going continuous improvement and increased student achievement. The following research questions will be used to guide the study: 1. How do school and district leaders use performance management processes to improve teaching and learning? a. How did the practice of an Achievement Impact Presentation influence the behaviors of district and building leaders? b. How does the practice of an Achievement Impact Presentation help district leaders monitor performance? c. How does the practice of an Achievement Impact Presentation hold schools accountable for results?
