C-6a Useful, meaningful indicators

 

The worksheet below can be used to select a few indicators for a specific goal based on standard indicator evaluation criteria.  Review each indicator and consider it in relation to the specific goal – is it a meaningful measure that is relevant to the goal?  Is the indicator understandable and reliable to its audience?  Does it provide a systems view rather than look at an isolated part?  Can it be measured and is it verifiable?
