ActPoint in Action

The ActPoint RoadMap subscription includes an unlimited number of users. Simply put, for each RoadMap you create, you can distribute the RoadMaps to administrators, staff, contractors, school board members, parents and to the community as a whole without any additional usage charges. While most RoadMaps are developed for internal use, for execution of standard operating procedures, having the ability to create RoadMaps for external users creates added value for the district.

The ActPoint Assessment

Click to view larger image ActPoint RoadMap assessment accurately determines the problems or issues to determine appropriate actions. Each question includes requirements (policies, procedures, statutes, regulations, etc., as appropriate) that influence how the question is answered. The requirements serve to clarify the question and promote more accurate responses. ActPoint RoadMaps use adaptive assessment technology providing a unique set of diagnostic questions depending on the question path.

Create Your District RoadMaps

Click to view larger image The process of creating your own district RoadMaps, couldn't be easier. ActPoint is designed for the non-technical user with basic computer skills and knowledge of the district's policy and operating procedures. Each major department in a school district has such a person. Simply map out the decision process on a whiteboard, computer or napkin, determine the appropriate diagnostic questions to ask, locate the supporting resources such as policy, procedures, statutes, regulations and implementation suggestions. Then, using the DRAG and DROP ActPoint interface, start creating your own RoadMaps. The screen to the right is typical of the decision mapping used in ActPoint.

The ActPoint Reports

Click to view larger image Once the diagnostic assessment has been completed, the ActPoint system automatically generates a custom Action Plan and RoadMap summary report. The Action Plan recommends specific, concise actions that are required as a result of the diagnostic assessment. The RoadMap summary is a detailed report including documentation on how the assessment was answered, the recommendations, implementation suggestions and reference documents such as policies, procedures, statutes, or regulations . The RoadMap Summary is an excellent way for the user to document, learn and execute the correct procedure for each situation. Click to view larger image The RoadMap summary report becomes the basis for auditability. All actions by the user are logged into the system as a means of documenting procedural accountability...or a deviation from those standards. Either way, the event can be retrieved for supervisory, legal or compliance purposes. Once you see how valuable the ActPoint RoadMaps are to the execution of your operating procedures, you will want to extend the use to other areas and departments. There is never a charge for adding more RoadMaps to your ActPoint collection which allows you to institutionalize ActPoint at a cost you can afford.
