An action plan for district or school improvement requires specific strategies and activities that must be monitored and evaluated to determine if program objectives are being met. This area focuses on tools and resources for monitoring and evaluating the district or school improvement effort including, 1) tracking successes and failures in achieving program improvement objectives, 2) identifying objectives and activities requiring "mid-course" corrections to keep progress on track, and 3) understanding qualitative and quantitative approaches for gathering evaluation information.
