CDLI_Guidebook_18_Final_Print

For action planning, staff indicate their total rating for each practice area and calculate their average.
This will give the overall rating is for each of the five practice areas.
Questions to consider:
• On which CDLI practice area did your program score the highest? Why?
• On which CDL practice area did your program score the lowest? Why?
• What evidence do you have to support the ratings you selected for your program’s highest
practice area? Your lowest practice area?
• How do you think your community partners would rate you?
• What professional learning experiences could facilitate improvement in your lowest CDLI
practice areas?
• What comparisons do you see between your scores here and your capacity assessment scores?
• What can your Implementation Team do, or what do you need, to ensure that you are
implementing these practice areas fully?
HOW DO WE ACT ON THE DATA?
Step 1:
Review other program data (SEL-PQA, Self-Reflections, Algorhythm Youth and Adult Surveys).
Questions to consider:
• Where do you see similarities between your low-scoring and high-scoring areas between all of the
data reports?
• How do these results relate to your current SMART goal in your Program Implementation
Plan (PIP)?
Step 2:
Review your capacity assessment action planning sheet and the actions steps you identified to
strengthen organizational infrastructure.
Question to consider:
• How do these scores connect with or are dissimilar from your identified areas of growth
around capacity?
Step 3:
Determine whether you have the bandwidth to do more in your program to support
continuous improvement.
If yes, how does this data enhance/inform your current smart goal? What might be a new goal?
If no, how will this support your improvement process moving forward?
