Strategic Plan Document - Section 11 - Products (Revised
by Mark Goldstein, 06/14/98)
Micro-level products are the measurable results desired at specific
future points in time. They may be comprised of a simple, single measurement
(count or test score) or may be based on multi-dimensional, complex assessment
criteria. Wherever possible, ALTP should rely on existing and developing
assessment tools, state and national standards, and ongoing survey activities
to leverage our ability to monitor progress while minimizing ALTP organizational
resource use. The following Products and Measurements Table is offered
as a starting point for discussion and further additions, enhancement and
refinement. Specific 1, 5 and 20 year goals represent initial suggestions
and may yet need to be benchmarked and modified against anticipated budgets,
costs, and practicalities as developed in other areas of the strategic
planning process.
