Ideas around Goals
...a discrepancy-creating process
Goal setting is actually a discrepancy-creating process,
in that setting a goal acknowledges our discontent with
the status quo.
Timperley et al, 2007
“goal setting works by creating a discrepancy between
what is currently happening and some desired future
state”
Robinson, Hohepa, and Lloyd (2009 p.96)
Goals can give focus
“Goal setting channels
one’s energies into
determining ways in
which goals will be
achieved and allows
one to prioritise
actions in the face of
multiple demands on
one’s time.”
Bishop, O’Sullivan and Berryman
(2010 p. 55)
Especially when they are

Goals can motivate people to be critically
reflective if 3 conditions are met
• Capacity to meet the goal from current
resources or from the support received while
pursuing the goal
• Commitment to the goal takes place when
individuals understand and value the goal
• Specificity allows one to judge progress and
adjust one’s performance.
Goals should also be considered against
GPILSEO
How will our ownership of the goal impact
upon:
• Evidence
• Spread
• Leadership
• Pedagogy
• Institutions
• Goal
Consider this NZ school goal against the
SMART and GIPLSEO criteria
By the end of term 3 we will consider patterns of
Māori students’ participation and achievement
across curriculum areas to identify the influences of
effective teaching against success in NCEA Level 1.
In term 4 we will then work with middle managers
to co-construct proactive approaches that may
include adapting structures, pedagogies, resources
and professional development to better enable
teachers to support students’ performance in NCEA
next year.
