  • Quality Maps are created with multiple stakeholders including teachers, administrators, counselors, parents, community members and students of all ages.
  • Strategy Maps think in terms of new ideas that might disrupt the norm.
  • Quality Maps include “Futures Thinking.” Futures Thinking is the process of analyzing patterns, disruptors, and changes from a variety of disciplines to develop insights and understand their impact on the institution in the years ahead.
  • Consider the institution’s reality and future when determining the critical initiatives, intended outcomes, and key measures.
  • Quality Maps use evidence-based methods (initiatives) to guide the implementation of actions required to achieve objectives.
  • Use the inFocus guide to help create map. The information created in one section will flow to the next.
  • Write objective statements that can be communicated clearly to stakeholders— refrain from writing measurable outcomes in the statements.
  • Enable strong communication throughout the process.
