Margaret Nyilile Kataka | Simon Kipkenei | Abuya Joshua Olang’o "Target Setting as a Principal Leadership Strategy to Enhance Academic Achievement of Girls in Secondary Schools in Kenya" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-6 | Issue-7, December 2022, pp.1365-1371, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd52615.pdf

Target setting is typically the result of a subjective process in which school leaders/principals combine intellectual capital to establish performance expectations for their students. Target setting is widely used by school leaders to promote success, and it has been shown to improve academic achievement in students. This study looked empirically at target setting as a primary leadership strategy for improving academic achievement. The findings indicated that setting goals would likely improve the academic achievement of girls in secondary schools in Bungoma County, Kenya. Target setting supervision, level of target setting, and importance of target setting all influenced the academic achievement of girls in Bungoma County secondary schools. Among the policy recommendations were that target setting be prioritized in school programs because it has shown to have a positive relationship with academic achievement, and that all aspects of target setting, including its importance, the different levels of target setting, and its goals, be effectively communicated to all relevant stakeholders so that they all own the process and work together to achieve the desired goals.
