What is an Objective?

An Objective, within the context of IMPACT, is a subset of a Goal. All Goals are broken into several objectives. Objectives listed under any particular Goal must relate to that Goal. Consider the objective to be a smaller target - some may say subsidiary target - to the larger Goal.

ALSDE requires local systems to choose some number of the state plan (IMPACT) objectives for each Goal (the number varies by Goal). These objectives are listed in the pull-down list in each row of this chart. Then, systems may choose to create their own objectives as well. Space is provided for systems to enter these objectives.

For more information on Objectives, please see the IMPACT plan (link) as well as the (link to Assist Guide).
