If the school has no opinion on what the goals could or might be, that's not best practice at all. It's abdication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-15091223480099076692013-04-25T17:18:39.958-07:002013-04-25T17:18:39.958-07:00Um, wow.

But I spend weeks agonizing over goals, looking at data, reflecting on growth over time, etc. A lot of thought goes into those goals. How long are your meetings?

I can't imagine what writing them at the meeting is like.organized chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050635225751382130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-49100319580178789562013-04-25T17:11:16.491-07:002013-04-25T17:11:16.491-07:00From my own experience, I have never been presente...From my own experience, I have never been presented a piece of paper with goals on it prior to the meeting. The first question they ask is "what would you like his goals to be?". They are then drawn up right there at the meeting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
