Writing Approvable Perkins Local Plan, Funded Project, Action Steps:
Note: A Funded Project is composed of action steps designed to address at least one of your Perkins Performance Metrics, THE OBJECTIVE OF THE
PROJECT. Each Action Step describes a planned activity and the expected grant expenses associated with that activity. Action Step descriptions need to be
very specific and need to be defined through the format of "Do X to accomplish outcome Y." It is also important to address how the action step serves the
overall Performance Metric objective(s) of the project. The best approach to writing quality Perkins Local Plan Funded Project action step descriptions is to
engage key stakeholders in a Perkins strategic planning process.
More information is available at http://www.coloradostateplan.com/admin_handbook.htm. Technical steps to completing your Perkins Local plan are also
available. Scroll down the Administrators' Handbook web page until you see a bar entitled "CTE Online Technical Guides." Click on the left side of that bar. It
