Goals and improvement cycles
Every goal carries a target, a timeline, an owner, a status, the evidence behind it and the next action — recorded during normal teaching.
A goal is never a number on its own. It carries a target, a timeline, an owner, a status, the evidence behind it and the next action — and it moves through one loop that ends in a report leadership can trace back to every record.
Improvement cycles this term
Four synthetic cycles in four different states, on purpose.
| Goal | Owner | Timeline | Baseline → target | Current | Progress | Status | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 7 Mathematics · Period 2 Students solve multi-step linear equations and explain each step in their own words. | A. Rahman | 2026-08-24 to 2026-11-14 | 61% → 85% | 76% +15 points | In progress Active | Record the next checkpoint and complete the open support follow-up. | |
| Grade 8 Science · Period 4 Students write laboratory conclusions that cite the evidence they actually collected. | A. Rahman | 2026-08-24 to 2026-10-28 | 68% → 82% | 84% +16 points | Met Approved | Generate the leadership report snapshot. | |
| Grade 6 English · Period 1 Students cite textual evidence to support written responses about a central idea. | A. Rahman | 2026-08-24 to 2026-12-05 | 58% → 80% | Not measured yet | Needs support Draft | Record a first checkpoint so the goal has a current measurement. | |
| Grade 7 Mathematics · Period 2 Students compare and order fractions using reasoning rather than a memorised procedure. | A. Rahman | 2026-08-24 to 2026-10-10 | 54% → 78% | 59% +5 points | In progress Changes requested | Address the reviewer's request: The differentiation note describes what was taught but not what changed. Add the re-check result, and say what the middle group can now do without the visual. |
One loop, eight steps
Recorded once, during normal teaching, and reused everywhere.
- Goal
A target, a baseline, a timeline and an owner.
- Teaching plan
The methods the teacher intends to use.
- Evidence
What was actually taught, recorded during normal teaching.
- Mastery reading
What the checks show, by objective — confirmed or corrected by a person.
- Support action
A plan for the students the evidence names, with a due date.
- Leadership review
A chair or head approves, requests changes or returns it.
- Accreditation evidence
The same records mapped to the framework the school answers to.
- Traceable report
A snapshot that cites every record it summarises.
