- Summarise evidence for how your school is meeting each of the indicators.
- If an indicator is partly met or not met, you can choose to add it to your action plan. It will automatically pull through to the action plan
- In the action plan, you can assign responsibility, set a completion date, and find more resources to help you with this action.
