4Dx Pages 44-64 Reflection...What are Lead Measures?
Pages 44 - 64 bring a great deal of clarity to the difference between lag and lead measures. In your own words, what are lead measures and why are they critical to WIG achievement?
Lead measures are the steps we take to achieve our WIG's. This way we can keep a record of whether we are on track and there is a clear explanation of why or why not the WIG was mastered.
Lead Measures are the baby steps to the lag measure and ultimately the BIG WIG. When we can track these can see if they are working or not and if not, what do we need to change to be successful?
Lead Measures are predictive, influenceable actions that, if done consistently and with dedication will ultimately lead us to success in meeting our WIGs.
Lead measures are those predictable actions that can be influenced by our students and they do not need our help. IF we keep on track at working our our lead measures it will lead to growth towards meeting our goals. If we are not going then we look at our actions and adjust so that we can meet our WIG.
I love how you pointed out that lead measures must be influenced by the students. If they are dependent on us to carry out their lead measures, they may not be successful. We cannot do everything for them. They have to want it and work for it! Therefore, lead measures should be crafted in a way that supports ownership and independence.
I love how you stated that our lead measures can help narrow our focus! Personally, narrowing the scope is the hardest part. I've not thought about using lead measures as a way to do that, but I believe it would work.
Lead measures are the steps a person is going to take to accomplish their WIG. They must be influential and predictive of success in that area. If we are continually working on and tracking our lead measures, we should see growth towards our goal. If we do not see growth, the lead measures might need to be reassessed and changed. Lead measures are the way we get to our WIGs! We can't start a road trip if we don't know how we are going to get there.
It's the GPS! There are different paths that can lead to the same destination. Some are shorter than others. We have to make sure the "paths" we choose are the shorter ones, so students can make progress quicker.
Lead measures are the actions you put into place to achieve your WIG. They predict success and can be influenced by whoever is working toward the WIG. Not only are lead measures predictable and influenceable, but they are flexible. If they are not having the impact that we had envisioned we can adapt them on the way to ensure that we are successful in meeting our WIG.
My lead measures are the actions I take to succeed and reach my goal (lag measure). I need to look closely at my lead measures and change something as my personal goal isn't going so well now. Thanks Allyson for reminder that they are flexible.
I have had to reflect: Is my goal too ambitious or am I actually doing my lead measures? Do my lead measures need to change so I can reach my goal quicker? What can we do without lowering the expectations for greatness?
Lead measures tell me where I am going. Lag measures tell me where I have been. They are important because I need to know where I am headed in order to reach my goal and I need to know how I have progressed in my path to get there.
I like how you connected the lead measure to climbing the mountain. I think that is a great way to look at it. I will be using that with my class. I didn't even think about it like that.
Lead measures are the "measures" of the activities most connected to achieving the goal. They are predictive and influenceable. A lag measure is the measurement of a result you are trying to achieve. They call it lag measure because by the time you get your data the results have already happened, they are always lagging.

They call it lag measure because by the time you get your data the results have already happened, they are always lagging.
Lead measures are the steps we take in order to reach our goals. By thinking of our lead measures as we create goals, we naturally create an action plan for ourselves. If we choose realistic lead measures and are careful in our goal setting, then there is no reason we can't succeed.
Lead Measures are the steps I take to achieve my goal. It's my what I do to reach my ultimate self. Lead measures are all around us, even if we are not targeting them to reach our WIG. What am I doing in the 80% of my day that is part of my whirlwind? How do I focus 20% of my day to reach my ultimate self? What lead measures can I be intentional about 20% of my time to make a difference?
Lead measures are the action steps that are 'leading' us to achieving our goal. These action steps should be predictive and influenced. The lead measures are the major steps to achieving the WIG and lag measures are the proof that follows behind the lead measures to show you are accomplishing your WIG.
Lead measures help a person focus on how to reach their goal. It's essentially beginning with the end on mind. If not successful, it gives you a place to look to see why and refocus on other lead measures that will help you reach the goal. Growth sometimes has to be flexible!
Lead measures are the steps in our plan to make it up the mountain and attain our WIGS. They are important because if we just jump on the mountain without a plan, how are we to know what steps to take to reach our goal.
Lead measures are essential to making it to our goals. Without a solid plan in place, we struggle to get things accomplished. I think lead measures are the plan, the road map, to get us where we want to be.
Lag measures are the data and lead measures are the actions. I'm thinking of it as the accountability or proof that there is follow-through on the action plan. You know what needs to be done...are you really doing it?
Lead measures are the items you choose that directly impact your goal. By tracking your lead measures you are supporting your goal. It keeps you honest with yourself by showing that you have done the things to help you reach your goal. It helps to visually see that these are the things I am/or are not doing and that correlates to whether or not my goal will be reached.
lead measures are the specific action step/s that a person is tracking to impact their lag measure and ultimately aide in WIG achievement!

DeleteThey also must be Predictive and Influenceable

ReplyDeleteKeeping track of data is important so we can make adjustments if needed in order to meet our goal!

ReplyDeleteYes! IT is important to look at our lead measures and if we are not being successful then decide what we need to change in order to meet those WIGS!

ReplyDeleteIf we choose our student’s Lead measure carefully, the student will ultimately succeed.

DeleteLead the horse to the water and make them thirsty to drink.
DeleteLead Measures are predictive and influence actions that narrow your focus down to the 2 or 3 things that “trigger” success, or your end goal.

ReplyDeleteI love your analogy of a road trip! That would be a great visual to show the kids when we are explaining what lead measures are!
DeleteLead measures= our students road map!!! love this analogy too! That Mackenzie is so smart!:)

ReplyDeleteYou are so right, lead measures are flexible! I had not thought about it like that yet.

ReplyDeleteMine isn’t going well either. I think I set a goal that was too ambitious. I’m taking that into account when I am setting WIGS with my students.

ReplyDeleteLead measures are what you have to do to reach your goal, the actions.
ReplyDeleteLag measures look to the past to tell me if I have achieved my goal. Lead measures plan for the future to tell me if I am likely to achieve my goal.
ReplyDeleteLead measures are the action steps you take to achieve the lag measures.
