Goals break your vision down into broad areas on which to focus your efforts. The Alabama state plan includes four such goals addressing technology integration and standards, access to resources, professional development and infrastructure. Districts are encouraged to use their local vision as a starting point for crafting goal statements which address the four general goal areas of the state’s plan.

A local interpretation of a goal would be to focus the goal language on those areas and/or initiatives that have particular meaning and relevance for your local system. For example, if you have a particular overarching program or philosophy (e.g., “Success for All”) you could reference this in your goal statement. The point is to use language in your goal that states the broad intent of the state goal but expresses it in terms that have meaning locally.
