The Linking Outcomes with Organizational Planning (LOOP) process, initiated in 1984 in the Austin (Texas) Independent School District (AISD) is described. Focus is on the successful conversion to on-line computer updates and the development of a training package for key staff on writing status reports. LOOP is a nine-step process for integrating research, evaluation, and less formal findings into the planning and instructional cycle. The nine steps are: (1) identifying findings for improving instruction; (2) establishing a goal for improvement; (3) assigning a key staff member to manage progress; (4) having the key staff member work with others as appropriate; (5) providing outcomes and activities; (6) updating computer files with progress reports; (7) providing printed updates and continuous information; (8) monitoring of each goal by the Superintendent and staff; and (9) providing data for the District, community, and state. The use of the on-line computer system has greatly simplified the LOOP process. The program is considered a qualified success; it is most useful to the superintendent, and least attractive to the staff. Attachments include memoranda on 1986-87 priorities for AISD and a sample LOOP procedure for improving student performance in elementary mathematics on the Texas Educational Assessment of Minimum Skills.
