I read the scores and I use them, but I do not let them tell me what my school is for. I lead for the teacher who is growing and the kid who finally showed up, and I keep the numbers in their place as a tool, not the mission. The dashboard informs me; it does not run me.
More people experience this than they realize.
You use the metrics as a tool without letting them define the mission.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
