Measure what matters

Low-Burden Learning Plan

A practical worksheet for pairing existing data, lived experience, adaptations, and decisions without creating unnecessary reporting burden.

Use evidence in service of learning

  • Start with information people already collect.
  • Pair numbers with lived experience, stories, and feedback.
  • Measure belonging, agency, access, participation, relationships, and protective conditions.
  • Use findings to make the next decision rather than only to report backward.

Minimum evidence fields

  • Aim and intended participants
  • Assumptions and activities
  • Deliverable or test
  • Existing measure and story or feedback source
  • Adaptation and decision
  • What might transfer to another setting
