Goal and Objective Sample
Goal #3

years.
Objective: Identify students with disabilities who have high risk predictors of attendance, behavior or course failure and assign a teacher mentor to guide the student to graduation.
![Page 13: Innovation Zone Act](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103006/56812cef550346895d91b86d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Clear goals with measureable objectives are extremely important.
It must be clear what you plan to do and how you plan to do it.
Charts are often helpful to make it clearer.

![Page 15: Innovation Zone Act](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103006/56812cef550346895d91b86d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Table Discussion
How will the current structure of the school, support the innovation zone project? (ie scheduling practices, staffing patterns, calendars, curriculum, instructional interventions and allocation of resources).
If not, what changes need to occur?
![Page 16: Innovation Zone Act](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103006/56812cef550346895d91b86d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Tips for Writing an Innovative Project
Articulate in your application what will be different as a result of the project.
What are you doing that is new and different, not just trying to fund an existing project?
How will this project change things for the future not just short term?
![Page 17: Innovation Zone Act](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103006/56812cef550346895d91b86d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Table Discussion
How will the project support a comprehensive student support system that addresses student physical, social and emotional needs?
What needs to change in your system to meet the “whole” child needs?
![Page 19: Innovation Zone Act](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103006/56812cef550346895d91b86d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

The project needs to be systemic in nature.
Not for just a small portion of students but how will it put in place a system that stays in place.

Scalability Provide a testing ground for innovative graduation
programs, incentives and approaches to reducing the number of dropouts.
Provide information regarding the effects of specific innovations, collaborations and policies on graduation rates and dropout prevention and recovery.
Document educational strategies that increase graduation rates, prevent dropouts and enhance student success.
