K and I are both teachers in Massachusetts, so we are working on establishing goals for this school year.  We wanted to incorporate the WB strategies into our goals and collect measureable data regarding our success with implementation.  We are hoping that by year's end our data will support our feelings and back up our belief in the WB learning system.

Using Chapter 4 of Whole Brain Teaching for Challenging Kids, we developed a S.M.A.R.T. goal that reads:

By June 2014, every student in my class will move up, on average, one level in classroom behavior  as evidenced by tracking sheets that highlight the frequency in which each student meets 5 established criteria.

Each of us has slightly different criteria, and we are waiting for approval, so we'll let you know.
