   • What is my program/service supposed to accomplish?​
   • What do I want students to be able to do and/or know as a result of this program/service?​
   • How well are we doing it?​
   • How do we know?​
   • How do we use the information to improve or celebrate success?​
   • Do the improvements we make work?
2. Identify the program/service/etc. you would like to improve.
   • What is the history of the program/service being assessed?
