Both objectives and strategies are measurable. Objectives Objectives are clear targets for specific action. More detailed than goals, objectives have shorter time frames and indicate quantity. An objective is achievable, measurable, and sets the direction for strategies. A single goal may be subdivided into multiple objectives.
Outcomes are the results or impact of unit action or activity.
Outcome measures are tools, or indicators, to assess the actual impact of a program's actions. The concern is how to translate this noble goal into a more practical course of action that will permit us to determine whether we have actually progressed toward that goal. Assuming that we may never reach a point where every single athlete has that sort of positive educational experience, then we may pursue that goal by establishing an objective to increase the number or percentage of student athletes who have a positive educational experience as measured by the number or percentage who make satisfactory progress toward a degree or earn a degree or remain academically eligible within a certain time period. Strategies Strategies are methods to achieve goals and objectives. Strategies are specific courses of action that will be undertaken to accomplish goals and objectives.
