The document discusses the results of a STaR Chart assessment of South Waco Technology Progress from 2006-2009. The STaR Chart showed that teaching and learning was developing with a downward trend in classroom technology use, while educator preparation and development was also developing due to little professional development. Leadership, administration, and instructional support trended upward from developing to advanced, reflecting leadership changes. Infrastructure for technology also trended upward from developing to advanced due to enhanced bandwidth. The data can be used for technology planning, budgeting, and evaluating resources.
The Texas STaR Chart document discusses a rating system used in Texas to evaluate schools' technology programs. It outlines the key areas rated, including early tech, developed tech, advanced tech, and target tech. The document notes a new high school will be completed in summer 2011 with advanced technology and that campus ratings for the past three years will be presented. The goal of the Texas STaR Chart is to help create and update technology plans, set benchmarks and goals, measure proficiencies, and determine funding priorities.
The document summarizes the Texas STaR Chart, which identifies the progress of Alief Taylor High School and the district in key technology areas. The STaR Chart measures four areas: teaching and learning, educator preparation, leadership and administration, and infrastructure. It uses levels like early tech, developing tech, and target tech to classify progress in each area and allows comparisons over time. While Alief Taylor is advanced in some areas like infrastructure, the chart shows there is room for improvement in other areas like educator preparation according to trends from 2009 to 2008. The STaR Chart data helps the school design its technology plan and budget to continually move education towards the future.

Providing actionable healthcare analytics at scale: Understanding improvement...Nuffield Trust
This document discusses measurement for quality improvement. It explains that measurement in improvement aims to provide a basis for action to improve processes and outcomes, rather than just estimating parameters. Improvement measures should be simple, specific, and available in real-time. Statistical process control methods are important to separate normal variation from changes resulting from interventions. Examples are provided of run charts measuring improvements in recording BMI for mental health patients and compliance with care bundles. The document advocates making the theories behind improvement efforts more explicit.

The document discusses three main points:
1) Previous empirical evidence from the US and UK shows that competition in healthcare increases quality when prices are regulated.
2) Studies of the UK healthcare system found that hospitals exposed to more competition improved quality, reduced length of stay, and saw no expenditure increases. No evidence was found of increased inequalities.
3) Research on hospital consolidations in the UK found little cost reduction or quality improvements despite being costly to implement. Overall, competition seems to be beneficial to the UK system while consolidation has provided few clear gains.

Marketing research involves systematically collecting, recording, and analyzing data to solve marketing problems. It has two main components - marketing and research. Marketing refers to creating value for customers, while research refers to a scientific study of a problem. There are three main steps to the marketing research process: 1) defining the problem, 2) designing the research, and 3) collecting and analyzing data. Problem definition involves understanding the client's needs, environment, and objectives. Research design specifies the methodology, including what data is needed and how it will be collected and analyzed. Overall, marketing research links customers and markets to organizations through insights gleaned from a systematic process.
The balanced scorecard is a strategic planning and management system that monitors organizational performance against strategic goals. It was developed in the 1990s to provide a more "balanced" view than traditional financial metrics. The balanced scorecard looks at performance from four perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth. It helps organizations align activities to their vision by communicating strategic objectives and linking them to measurable performance indicators. Key to successful implementation is obtaining executive support, involving managers in development, choosing the right leader, and viewing it as a long-term process rather than short-term project.
Are you in control of Testing, or does Testing control you? SQALab
- Mike Smith argues that software testing models often rely too heavily on test cases, which may not provide the best measures for control and risk management.
- An effective measurement framework separates objectives from initiatives and uses a complex model of relationships rather than a simple hierarchy. This provides better traceability and the ability to cope with change.
- Lessons can be learned across different domains of measurement and testing. An ideal testing model would incorporate concepts from performance management systems like the balanced scorecard to link testing to business outcomes.
- Many factors influence what level of measures and targets are suitable for a given situation, but the most important thing is that the model supports analysis and decision making to maintain control.

Olam Vietnam established a sustainable black pepper supply chain project in 2013 to certify farmers in sustainable pepper production. They provided training and assistance to 98 farmers to achieve Rainforest Alliance certification in 2014. The operation is inclusive by guaranteeing farmers can sell their entire produce to Olam at a premium price while allowing them to sell elsewhere. Olam works with a farmers' cooperative and local buying agent for transactions. The business aims to gradually expand the number of participating farmers while maintaining certification and farmer freedom to sell to other buyers. Recommendations include allowing FDI companies to contract directly with farmers, providing initial financial support to incentivize participation, and developing infrastructure to scale up the project.

This document summarizes Acumen Fund's agriculture portfolio. It shows that over 600 million people in Acumen's geographies depend on agriculture for livelihood but earn very low incomes due to low agricultural productivity. Acumen has increased its agriculture investments over 5 years, with the portfolio representing 22% of its total portfolio and 40% of recent investments. The $14.9 million portfolio includes 9 companies receiving both debt and equity investments. Key learnings include challenges in scaling due to farmer dispersion, difficulties adopting new technologies, and a lack of investible seed-stage opportunities in agriculture enterprises.
The document discusses horticulture farming and small scale farmers in Kenya. It describes how horticulture provides labor opportunities for rural communities and how small plots are suitable for vegetable production. However, smallholder farmers face challenges such as poverty, inconsistent quality/quantities, and high production costs. The document suggests mechanisms for scaling up smallholder farming, including public-private partnerships for training, certification programs, technology assistance, and improved infrastructure for transportation and storage.
