Action plans
After analyzing multiple data sources that are related to the area of inquiry and coming to a shared understanding of the findings, the next steps in the Data Wise process are to develop an action plan, decide how to assess progress, and implement the action plan. The Data Wise action plan template (pictured below) lists the tasks that must be completed to effectively implement the selected strategy and defines who will be responsible for each task and when the task will be completed. To evaluate progress, the team identifies short-, medium-, and long-term data sources that they will use (graphic organizer pictured below). Then, after collecting and analyzing data from those data sources, the team can evaluate if the strategy was effective. Bases on that evidence, the team might celebrate their success, adjust the action plan to improve implementation of the strategy, or choose to implement a different strategy.
