Learn About the Goal Lifecycle

The purpose of goal setting is to authentically engage in reflection about current professional practice, identify professional growth goals, establish and implement a professional learning plan to attain those goals, and to track progress toward the goals over the course of the year. Professional goals exist in Strive and allow editable access with continuous dialog until it is marked complete.
