What Makes for Success? A well prepared team Knowing “where” you are (e.g., how did we do this past year?, what does our final reporting show?) Access to data Ready to “hit the institute running” Having a facilitator!

Preparing Your Team Build a team that includes key personnel Pull your team together before the institute if possible Acclimate new members to the institute process Identify team member roles if you haven’t already

Know Where you Stand Use your transtionprogramtool.org site Did we complete our tasks? Did we produce our outputs – our products? Did we collect and review data relevant to our expected outcomes? Did we achieve our outcomes?

Know Where you Stand Use your transtionprogramtool.org site Did we accomplish our goals? What did we complete and what do we want to carry forward? What facilitated our progress? Did we run into specific barriers? What data do we need for this year’s planning?

transitionprogramtool.org & TTP 2.0 These are all reflected in the tool

transitionprogramtool.org & TTP 2.0

transitionprogramtool.org & TTP 2.0 Ratings for Extent Implemented 1 star – This activity or practice is not occurring 2 stars – We are developing this activity of practice but it is not yet occurring 3 stars – This activity or practice occurs some of the time with some of the students, but implementation is not consistent 4 stars –This activity or practice occurs regularly, widely, and consistently

transitionprogramtool.org & TTP 2.0 Ratings for Extent/Quality of Evidence 1 star – We do not have any data regarding this practice 2 stars – We have very limited data regarding this practice OR the quality of the data we have is not very good 3 stars – We have some data that indicate implementation and/or effectiveness of the activity or practice 4 stars – We have high quality data that indicate implementation and/or effectiveness Priority 1 star – Low 2 stars – Medium 3 stars – High Develop Plan? If yes, check the box
