Lagging Indicator Determination Charts

In order to know what to work on and to measure their success at each level, school leaders need ways to assess their school’s current status, gauge their progress through each level, and confirm successful achievement of each level. Leading and lagging indicators are useful to these ends.

Leading indicators are important conditions that are known to be associated with school improvement. They provide direction for school leaders in strategic planning for continuous, long-term improvement with specific short-term focuses.

Lagging indicators are the data and/or artifacts of practice that leaders should use to continually monitor leading indicators in their schools.
