School Strategies and Actions

STRATEGIES describe a research- or evidence-based approach that will be used to support students to attain improved student outcome. ● Could be implemented in a variety of ways depending on the school site ● Involves multiple action steps and resources to implement effectively ● Answers “what” (states the approach), “why” (what need is being addressed) and “who” (which students will be impacted)

ACTIONS describe what specifically will be done to implement the school strategy. ● Activities for teachers or students, goods to be purchased and distributed, tasks/responsibilities of a position. ● May or may not include a cost and/or budget item(s) ● Together, the actions paint a full picture of the program (e.g., planning/preparing, monitoring, implementing, and evaluating) ● Answers “how” (how the strategy will be implemented given needs and current capacity) and “how much” (cost and budget items related to tasks or activities).
