In order to effectively and consistently capture notes from the focus groups, KIPP MA created a note-catcher document that contains an introductory script, the questions to be asked, and a notes section for each attendee.
KIPP MA created a list of focus group questions for each audience they engaged with, including teachers, leaders, students, and families. The questions were grouped into six different themes, including student outcomes, student agency, digital literacy, support for all learners, conditions for success, and school-home connection.

This guide will help school and system leaders design measurable solutions and then capture data to inform continuous improvements.
To facilitate analyzing and synthesizing the data associated with the implementation of a new program or project, use this activity to chart your measurement journey along the way.
This activity will help you identify measurement tools to help you collect data as part of a broader measurement project.
A logic model is a visual representation of a theory of action (also referred to as a series of “if-then statements”). This activity will help you to identify the relationships between resources, activities, outputs, and the intended outcomes of a program or solution.
Before designing a measurement plan, first think about what improvement might look like. This activity prompts you to consider what has changed, what has been improved, and how you would know.
This activity helps you to identify all of the stakeholders who could influence and/or might be impacted by the outcomes of a solution you are seeking to design.
The questions provided in this activity can be used to guide the design of a measurable solution. Use the table in this document to organize your thinking before jumping straight into building a pilot, prototype, or program.
