Step 1: Problem Definition

Clearly define the education problem you're addressing. Use our templates for common issues like:

• Foundational Literacy & Numeracy (FLN): Low reading and math skills
• Career Readiness: Lack of job market preparation

Tip: Be specific about who is affected and the scale of the problem

Step 2: Student Outcomes

Define what success looks like for students. Outcomes should be:

• Specific and measurable
• Focused on student learning
• Achievable within your timeframe

Tip: Use template outcomes as starting points and customize them

Step 3: Intervention Strategy

Describe HOW you'll achieve the student outcomes. Consider:

• Teaching methods and approaches
• Resources and materials needed
• Timeline and phases

Step 4: Stakeholders

Identify everyone involved across 4 system levels:

• School Level: Teachers, principals, students
• Cluster Level: Cluster coordinators, resource persons
• Block Level: Block education officers, officials
• District Level: District education officers, administrators

Tip: Select 5-10 key stakeholders for focused impact

Step 5: Practice Changes

For each stakeholder, define what they'll do differently. Practice changes should be:

• Action-oriented (specific behaviors)
• Observable and verifiable
• Linked to student outcomes

Tip: Use our stakeholder-specific suggestions from Common LFA templates

Step 6: Indicators

Define how you'll measure success. Good indicators are SMART:

• Specific: Clearly defined
• Measurable: Quantifiable
• Achievable: Realistic
• Relevant: Aligned with outcomes
• Time-bound: Has a deadline
