DescriptionDescribe the strategy and its purpose in a sentence or two Link to goal(s)On which goals will the strategy have a significant impact? Rationale / Theory of ActionWhy/how do we believe it will have that impact? ScaleHow many students, teachers, campuses, etc. will it affect? Resources requiredWhat people, time, money and technology will be needed for successful implementation? Definition of success / Desired outcome What would success look like for this specific strategy and by when? Estimate of ImpactScale x Efficacy = Impact. Of those affected, how many additional will achieve the outcome we desire? MilestonesWhat are the key events (5 or fewer) in the rollout of this strategy?

29 ©2015 U.S. Education Delivery Institute Why is it so hard to measure progress in our work? TodaysMeet.com/delivery

30 ©2015 U.S. Education Delivery Institute The big dilemma is the disconnect between how often outcome data are available and how often we have to make decisions

31 ©2015 U.S. Education Delivery Institute This results in some awkward situations What do the 2013 NAEP results say now?

32 ©2015 U.S. Education Delivery Institute It helps to expand our definition of “evidence”… Already available Availability Created by you Form Quantitative StatisticsNew Collections Field workArtifacts Qualitative

33 ©2015 U.S. Education Delivery Institute …and to think of a spectrum from inputs to outcomes Student learning outcomes: Did students learn as a result? Field use of new knowledge and skills: Are they changing practice? Organizational support and change: Are they set up for success? Field learning: Did they learn what is expected of them? Field reaction: Did they like it? Milestones completed: What did we do? These questions can be asked of stakeholders at each level of the State’s education system: teachers, school leaders, district leaders and regional leaders.
