The Heart of an Effective Plan
A new teacher, a student, a parent – your faculty – anyone could understand what you
plan to do to make your school more successful just by reading the plan

How will progress for the action step be measured? Benchmarks:What kind of evidence can we collect or observe that indicates that the action step is completed or taking place?
Evidence – Documentation Box Evidence – Walk Through
Will we see it in an evidence box or in a walk through or both? What will we see?
How will the school provide timely assistance if action step does not change performance? Interventions: This info will be moved up to the

ACTION STEPS When possible,
think sequence Action steps
should include Who? What? When?

Instruction
How will the school provide timely assistance if action step does not change performance?

Strategy and Action Step Reminders
Effective Strategies and Action steps:• Are measurable• Include but are not solely centered around
remediation/intervention• Address core instruction• Require evidence that is observable in a
classroom, not just found in a box• Involve more than just Math and Reading teachers
