  1. Describe the past year's accomplishments and the current status of this Action Project.  Describe concrete achievements: meetings, data gathered and analyzed, plans made or implemented, changes in processes, and measured results. If you haven’t made much progress, explain why you think things are moving slower than planned.

  1. Describe how the institution involved people in work on this Action Project. AQIP wants information about motivation and communication: how you kept this Project on the institution’s priority list, how you maintained general awareness of the importance and progress of the Project, and how you kept those working on it directly active and motivated.

    

  1. Describe your planned next steps: Be specific about the next critical steps you are planning to move the Action Project ahead. If your planning is vague or there is no planning at this point, explain why.

   

  1. Describe any "effective practice(s)" that resulted from your work on this Action Project. Share practices (or processes, policies, procedures, or initiatives) that could be adopted or adapted at other institutions. AQIP is most interested in practices that would give value (better educational services, cost-savings, improved morale, more satisfied stakeholders, etc.) to another institution if they copied your innovation. If you believe that your work on this Project has little or no value for other institutions, explain why.

   

  1. What challenges, if any, are you still facing in regards to this Action Project?
