Here are the operational definitions of each:
Goal: Long-term target based on Kentucky Board of Education Goals. Schools may supplement with individual or district goals.
Objective: Short-term target to be attained by the end of the current school year.
Strategy: Research-based approach based on the 6 Key Core Work Processes designed to systematically address the process, practice or condition that the school/district will focus its efforts upon in order to reach its goals/objectives.
Activity: The actionable steps used to deploy the chosen strategy.
Key Core Work Processes: A series of processes that involve the majority of an organization’s workforce and relate to its core competencies. These are the factors that determine an organization’s success and help it prioritize areas for growth.
