Developing an Action Plan
What is an action plan?
A process to increase your community’s ability to:
• Affect conditions and outcomes by working together over time
and across issues of interest.
• It makes the vision concrete.
• It shows how you will implement strategies to attain your
objectives.
Why develop an action plan?
• To lend credibility to your organization.
• Don't overlook details.
• For feasibility.
• For efficiency.
• For accountability.
How does action planning help the
community?
• Understand the community’s issues.
• Generate action steps.
• Assure inclusive and integrated participation.
• Build consensus on what should be done.
• Specify concrete ways to take action.
Action Planning Includes…
• Listening to the community.
• Documenting problems that affect healthy youth
development.
• Identifying risk and protective factors.
• Developing a framework for action.
• Becoming aware of local resources and efforts
Action Planning Components
The format of the action plan depends
on the nature and needs of the project.
• The plan should specify:
a) The goal(s) that are to be accomplished
b) How each goal contributes to the overall strategic goals
c) What specific results (or objectives) must be
accomplished that, in total, reach the goal of the
organization
d) How those results will be achieved
e) When the results will be achieved (or timelines for each
objective)
Action Planning Steps
• Specify the actions needed to
address each identified goals, who
will complete each action, and according to what timeline.
• Develop an overall, top-level action plan that depicts the
overarching
goals and how each goal will be reached.
Planning Action Observation Reflection For
example, the teacher (or a group of teachers):
1. Selects an issue or concern to examine in more detail (e.g., the teacher's use of questions).
2. Selects a suitable procedure for collecting information about the topic (e.g., recording
classroom lessons).
3. Collects the information, analyzes it, and decides what changes might be necessary.
4. Develops an action plan to help bring about the change in classroom behavior (e.g., develops a
plan to reduce the frequency with which the teacher answers questions).
5. Observes the effects of the action plan on teaching behavior (e.g., by recording a lesson and
analyzing the teacher's questioning behavior) and reflects on its significance.
6. Initiates a second action cycle, if necessary.
What Is Data Collection?
• Data collection methods in educational research are used to gather
information that is then analyzed and interpreted. As such, data
collection is a very important step in conducting research and can
influence results significantly. Once the research question and
sources of data are identified, appropriate methods of data
collection are determined. Data collection includes a broad range of
more specific techniques. Historically, much of the data collection
performed in educational research depended on methods
developed for studies in the field of psychology, a discipline which
took what is termed a “quantitative” approach. This involves using
instruments, scales, tests, and structured observation and
interviewing. By the mid- to late twentieth centuries, other
disciplines such as anthropology and sociology began to influence
educational researchers.
• There are two types of data: quantitative and qualitative. Depending
on your goals, one type may be better suited to meet your needs.
The type of data you collect will influence the plan and approach you
take.
Why do we analyze data ?
The purpose of analysing data is to obtain
usable and useful information. The
analysis, irrespective of whether the data is
qualitative or quantitative, may:
• describe and summarise the data;
• identify relationships between variables;
• compare variables;
• identify the difference between variables;
• forecast outcomes.
• Figure 1 Shows the types Data

Any research is only as good as the data that drives it, so choosing the right
technique of data collection can make all the difference. In this manual,
early we looked through at six different data collection techniques –
teaching journals, lesson reports, observation, surveys and questionnaire,
audio and video recordings, action research – and evaluate their suitability
under different circumstances.
