All questions regarding end-of-summer reporting should be directed to adsy@tea.texas.gov.

*A copy of this spreadsheet has been added to your LEA folder. 

After you’ve collected and analyzed your data, prepare to use those outcomes and additional pieces of program information to help tell the story of your program’s impact.  Consider the data you want to share, and with whom — your district and school leadership, program families and staff, community partners, and prospective partners and funders are all stakeholders that will be interested in your program outcomes. The impact of your program on the youth you serve, and the successes achieved during your program, are among your best marketing tools for recruiting future participants, celebrating with your stakeholders, and demonstrating impact to your funders and community partners.

The Summer Impact Reporting Webinar reviewed the value of developing impact reports and resources that can support you in developing a report for your ADSY program.  Here are resources to help you get started:

• Summer 2023 Impact Report Example - Brownwood ISD

• Summer 2023 Impact Report Example - Hutto ISD

• Summer 2023 Impact Report Example - Longview ISD

• Summer 2023 Impact Report Example - Texarkana ISD

Guidance, resources, and templates to help develop your program’s Impact Report are available below. 

Impact Report Templates: 

• One-page template in Google Slides 

• Two-page template in Google Slides 

• One-page template in Google Docs

How to use them:

• Templates are fully editable! Make them your own so your program’s story shines!

• Instructions for filling out the templates are located here. 

  • • You’ll find specific instructions and guidance for each section of the template, general tips and best practices, and instructions for both getting started and finalizing your Impact Report. 

    • Within the instructions, you’ll also find a completed example using the two-page Google Slides template. Each section of that example has been numbered to correspond to the instructions. 

• Tip: Begin reviewing the templates now! The sooner you start thinking about how to tell your program’s story of success, the better you’ll be able to pull your Impact Report together once your program has finished. 

Impact Report Data Index

• The Impact Report Data Index is located here. 

• Your program's Impact Report Data Index is designed to serve as a file history for data you collect for inclusion in your Impact Report. Consider it a living document - it can be edited and updated as needed.

• There is a tab already created for your Summer 2023 Impact Report Index. For future program cycles, simply create a new tab so that your program's entire file history can live in one document. This can also be shared with anyone on your team who may need access.

• Tip: Start utilizing your Data Index now! There may be fields you can already fill out. This tool will be crucial when you are submitting responses to the Impact Report Survey and begin work on your program’s Impact Report! 

Impact Report Do’s and Don’ts

• The Impact Report Do’s and Don’ts document is located here. 

• This one-page, easy-to-read document can serve as a great reference for best practices when you and your team are completing your Impact Report. 

• Tip: Print it out and keep it somewhere handy for reference!

Impact Report Checklist

• Access the Impact Report Checklist here

• Refer to it for tips around data to include in your report, formatting your report, and finalizing and sharing your report!

How-To Videos

• SCRI has created three videos for you to access as you being working on your program’s Impact Report:

  • Quick Tips and Guidance: short video that provides some high-level tips for your Impact Report

  • Getting Started with your Impact Report: a quick video that shows you how to make a copy of the template, what to consider when choosing a template, and directions for working in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint instead of Google Slides and Docs

  • Walking through Sections of the Impact Report: this video will show you exactly how to do the more technical elements of your Impact Report, including adding a logo and photos, changing the colors of your Impact Report to match your program’s branding, how to save your Impact Report as a pdf or share as a Google Slide, and other formatting tips

NEW! Impact Report Role Playing Worksheet

• SCRI developed a worksheet to help you think through how stakeholders with whom you’re planning to share the report will receive or engage with it.

• Access the worksheet here.

  • This activity would likely be done after your Impact Report has been completed and you’re moving forward with your plan to share it.

  • Gather members from your team to participate and assign each member a role that corresponds with a stakeholder you plan to share your Impact Report with.

  • Have each team member engage with the Impact Report while in their assumed role, and ask them to provide feedback about what most resonated with them.

Be on the lookout for more information about Office Hours with SCRI for LEAs to ask questions, brainstorm ideas, troubleshoot any issues, and collaborate.

TEA and ADSY Partners will also collect LEA impact reports as part of their initiative-wide reporting and promotion.
