STRATEGIC PLANNING & PERFORMANCE

In response to the North Carolina State Board of Education (SBE) guiding mission, the Department of Public Instruction developed a Performance Management Tool. This tool defines measures of progress toward the Board's mission and goals and defines priority objectives for Departmental divisions and facilitates internal monitoring of progress toward those objectives.

A "school house" was chosen to represent the agency. The school is divided into two parts:

1. The Roof
   In the roof are key "state of the state" measurements that align with the SBE goals. By clicking on the text in the roof, you can view key measures of success. Making progress statewide on these measures indicates that our state is moving toward the Board's mission of ensuring that every public school student in North Carolina is a globally competitive graduate.
   
   
2. The Walls and Foundation
   The walls and foundation of the building represent the department's divisions or offices. By clicking on the text in each division you will find two important pages:
   • Divisional Priority Objectives: Priority objectives are the most important objectives and targets that each division is working toward in the 2008-09 school year. Each division is held accountable for achieving the goals for that year. Each division's objectives support the Board's mission and goals for improving student outcomes across the state.
   • Core Activities: The core activities are a concise list of the categories of work generally performed by the division. They are intended to capture in simple form the division's broader work scope beyond the priority objectives for the year.
