Measuring The Construct in Question

Assuming that the construct of Personal Mastery or the Private Victory truly is important, how can we measure a school population's levels of these constructs?

If we can, then perhaps we can begin to put together a case for things that organizations are doing to encourage this development.

This study will try and create an instrument to measure these levels. Once we can measure the levels we can identify strong schools. Once we can identify strong schools we can examine their practice. If we discover practices that are impacting a wide-variety of school populations- then we may find something useful for our school leaders to consider. But even more important, we may find hope for children trapped in systems that are hurting their potential and sufficating their passion to learn.
