Checklist for Program Alignment Assessment

This checklist serves as a guide for schools to evaluate their program alignment within the context of the Rally model. It includes a variety of sections that address top-down program alignment, bottom-up program alignment, leadership practices, and collaboration with other programs. For each area, challenges are presented along with evaluative questions designed to prompt reflection and assessment. The document outlines specific challenges associated with each alignment strategy, such as misalignment of objectives, inadequate investment in feeder programs, and the need for effective leadership communication. Additionally, it provides a rubric for measuring performance and encourages users to reflect on their current practices through freewriting sections. The overall intent is to facilitate deeper understanding and improvement of program alignment across various dimensions.
