What will you do and how will you measure impact?

How will you develop Employability Skills at your school or district? If you're unsure how to answer that question, preview the Create Conditions and Develop Employability Skills sections of this website for inspiration.

What are the desired outcomes of developing Employability Skills? How will you measure those outcomes through a variety of success metrics? Answer those questions by creating a scorecard, which will be your progress tracker and a tool for decision making and storytelling.

As you identify your list of desired data points, consider your ideal data mix:

• qualitative versus quantitative data

• infrastructure versus impact data

• formative versus summative data

As you craft your scorecard, ask yourself, "How accessible will this be to key stakeholders - students themselves, families, teachers, etc?"
