The Vermont Consortium
has developed several tools that schools and communities can use to guide the planning,
implementation and evaluation of their work.
The Community Development Framework outlines steps to follow in identifying the precise
nature of the problem and developing a strategic plan to address those needs. The
Indicators for School and Community Readiness for Prevention of Truancy and Dropouts
provides a checklist and rubric to assess initial capacity as well as to chart development
of the elements necessary for effective and sustainable change that support student
success. The planning process recommends using the Theory of Change model that is
described in the accompanying materials. Development of the framework was based on
assumptions that underlie all of the consortium activities.
An Indicator Use and Feedback form is provided for users to give input to the continual
development of these and other planning tools.
