Writing an Action Plan based on your Assessment A. Intro: Have you finished your assessment, and now you want to take action to improve your program? Now is the time to think about writing an action plan! An action plan is a plan for how to improve your program. It takes far-off goals and hard changes and breaks them down into steps you can keep track of and complete. An action plan usually includes goals, steps, assignments, and deadlines. You’ll want to improve your program every year and respond to changes in your program every year. But it may take more than a year to make major changes or achieve big goals. You can give yourself more time for these major changes and goals. Your action plan may take one, two or even three years to complete. B. Using A Team Approach If you take into account more people’s ideas, you should end up with a stronger action plan. Some things to think about: • It’s common to use a team for writing action plans. It may be best if team members think about the questions and issues on their own and then bring their ideas to the table. This should help you: o get a wider variety of ideas to work with o reduce “group think” o end up with a stronger action plan • You may do this work with the same team that did your assessment. Or you may set up a different team to write and carry out your action plan. • You may choose to get more input from program youth, families, staff, or partners about questions that come up through the action plan process.
