- Summary:
-
The management team at Minooka (Illinois) School District 201 is actively pursuing school improvement measures by establishing Performance Contracts to increase productivity. The format of the Performance Contract highlights yearly short-term and long-term goals, which are presented in the form of Job Improvement Targets stating the goal itself, a statement of objectives, the expected results, the means for monitoring, and a step-by-step action plan. This document describes the eight steps of the cyclical Performance Contracting process: (1) administrative data analysis; (2) identification of organizational values; (3) preliminary "sensing" of district objectives; (4) profile judgments; (5) performance evaluations; (6) synthesis of profile of evaluations; (7) possibilities and constraints; and (8) performance contract. Appended are highlights of the process from 1987-1988, a sample performance contract, various charts from the presentation, and a list of school practices based on the following school correlates: positive school climate, instructional leadership, monitoring for curriculum planning, high expectations, positive home/school relations, and emphasis on academic and basic skills.
