The Communications department works on developing ways to measure progress towards our goal to ensure every student is educated for college, equipped for a career, and empowered with character. The guiding principle for our department is to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to graduate from Madera Unified with the greatest number of post-secondary options from the widest array of choices. This will be done through the development of real-time action-oriented dashboard indicators which will be used to facilitate leadership in decision-making and executing the Cycle of Inquiry (COI) process. Accountability utilizes a five-step process to develop and monitor dashboard indicators.

 

1. Determine what dashboard indicators need to be measured
2. Develop a process to populate dashboard indicators
3. Determine realistic targets for dashboard indicators
4. Develop a monitoring plan to measure progress toward a target
5. Complete the process to evaluate dashboard results against a target and determine the relevance of dashboard indicator to district goal (COI)
