PLAN WITH YOUR DATA<br />
Based on your data and its review, identify areas of growth you would like to focus on to implement your<br />
SMART goals. Once you have determined the practice area(s) in which you want to grow based on the<br />
review and reflection of your data, use the data to create an action plan and to begin to measure growth.<br />
You will have to identify and establish the time, resources, and other supports you will need to meet<br />
your goals.<br />
Creating/Modifying Action Plan (1 hour)<br />
Think of your Program Implementation Plan (PIP) as an action plan. In this step, your team will create a<br />
PIP or modify an existing one. If you are developing your PIP, create actionable, measurable goals, and<br />
plans. Divide the team into small groups--perhaps pairs--to work on one goal at a time.<br />
If you are modifying your PIP, this is an opportunity to take another look at your goals to ensure they<br />
accurately reflect the areas you want to focus on based on your additional data. Depending on which<br />
data source you are using, you may modify your youth development level, program level, or organization<br />
level SMART goals.<br />

Plan Review (15 min)<br />
Review the goals in your PIP as a large group once you have created them or if you have modified them.<br />
Ensure that you are able to answer the questions in this section.<br />
We suggest designating a person from your implementation team to be responsible for tracking<br />
and updating goals in the PIP and set up frequent check-ins to discuss successes and challenges on<br />
accomplishing your goals.<br />
