Goals are statements that lay out a general blueprint for accomplishing the mission.  A set of goals should articulate the mission in sufficient detail to support the development of actionable priorities.  Goal statements should include desired end results, but not in such specificity that the statements become objectives/ outcomes.

Outcomes are statements that disaggregate goals statements into intended outcomes.  Learning outcomes are designed to describe what a program intends to do to support the mission.  In both situations, the goals (and therefore the mission) define the substance of the outcome.  In addition, outcomes should be measurable and provide the indicator of success.

Tell how assessment will be done: technique, instrument, task, survey, count, and percent.

When will the goal/outcome be assessed?

Record results after assessment is done and analyzed.  Did you meet your indicator of success?

Tell what was done with assessment results and briefly list what changes and/or improvements will be made.
