A Global Positioning System (GPS)
Shows where you are relative to your destination
Provides detailed routes for reaching it
Adjusts to variations and even accommodates diversions along the way
But the destination remains constant.

The Decision is Whether To
Use every indicator or selected indicators
![Page 35: Lighting our path to stellar learning Academic Development Institute Indistar®](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649de45503460f94adbccb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

But the Actual Improvement Depends on the Effort of the People Behind It
A Strong Team Process and the Steadfast Implementation of its Plans
![Page 53: Lighting our path to stellar learning Academic Development Institute Indistar®](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649de45503460f94adbccb/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Select the Category, section. . .and then an Indicator
![Page 59: Lighting our path to stellar learning Academic Development Institute Indistar®](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649de45503460f94adbccb/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
