You should always know how you're doing against your metrics. You should always have a weekly review meeting every week.
Make a Goal Box, a chart of positive daily contact with a family when you are working with them.
As a teacher, I can help my students see what is working and not working. I can show them certain solutions. I can guide them to books that will serve as role models. Largely, though, one learns to write almost like developing muscle memory, and this requires years of effort.
We do recognise the need to move towards the publication of information showing the progress made by pupils from one stage of their education to another.
I have kept a training diary to record my training plans and my feelings and emotions for a long time.
In many countries, they do not even keep track of how girls are doing in school, or if they are there at all. If we say, 'Girls count,' then we must count girls, so we can see if we are really making progress in educating every girl.
I believe you accomplish what you measure.
I think that what we want to do as we continue to move forward is look at the various points that have been made.We're looking forward to the appointment of a monitor so that we can continue to do some of the things that we've been doing.
I do look at leader boards. I want to know where I'm at.
Numbers don't lie. You always seem to remember your workouts as being a little better than they were. It's good to go back and review what you do.
It takes a trained and discerning researcher to keep the goal in sight, and to detect evidence of the creeping progress toward it.
Setting clear goals and finding measures that will mark progress toward them can improve the human condition.
If you are training properly, you should progress steadily. This doesn't necessarily mean a personal best every time you race ... Each training session should be like putting money in the bank. If your training works, you continue to deposit into your 'strength' account ... Too much training has the opposite effect. Rather than build, it tears down. Your body will tell when you have begun to tip the balance. Just be sure to listen to it.
It's just like, you make a goal list - you write your goals down, you check it off once you get there and you make a new one.
I am constantly analysing my performances and I tend to focus more on things I haven't done as well as I'd have liked.
Races always are good to show where you are reaching in your training as well as to keep you sharpened. Every race, in my program, I put it in a special way like a ladder, climbing up slowly and slowly to the next one. I see where my training is, and that is like a test.
You cannot look too much at the result, you need to also look at yourself and what you've done, how you have maximised the machinery that you have.
We feel good about our running backs as we have them right now, and we will continue to see how they progress.
If somebody says they don't watch the leaderboard, I don't buy that, I'm sorry. Because you've got to know where you are to know how to play.
I can tell how far I ought to be going, I know how to get there, all I've got to do is keep playing.
You can only get so far from an evaluation standpoint in practice, and you know, at some point, you've got to go play and kind of take that next step in the evaluation of just where you are and then grow and make adjustments as you go throughout the year.
It's as much looking out your rear-view mirror as the windshield. You want to make sure you put your car in front of the right line. You're constantly looking behind you.
I definitely hope that I'm improving. If I'm not, there's a problem - I'm just coasting.
