Learning About the Goal Lifecycle

The purpose of goal setting is to engage in reflection about current professional practice authentically, identify professional growth goals, establish and implement a professional learning plan to attain those goals, and track progress over time. Appraisers and Appraisees can set, submit, and edit professional goals in Strive. Secure messaging attached to each document allows documented communication between the Appraiser and the Appraisee until the goal is marked complete.
