You Don't Adopt Purpose.
You Adopt Attendance.
Districts aren't evaluated on character — they're evaluated on the Eight State Priorities. The Outcomes Wheel maps each durable skill we measure to the accountability metric it moves: purpose to attendance, self-control to student behavior, grit to graduation rate. Growth you can already report.
Districts Adopt What
They Can Report
A school district can't adopt something because it's inspiring. It adopts something because it solves an accountability problem — and in California, accountability has a specific shape.
Every District Answers to the Same List
California's Local Control Funding Formula holds every district to eight state priorities — from pupil achievement and engagement to school climate and course access. Every LCAP goal, every dashboard indicator, rolls up to one of them.
When Attendance Drops, Funding Drops
Districts don't track attendance because they love data. Average daily attendance drives funding. Suspension rates, graduation rates, and assessment results carry the same weight on the state dashboard — and in the community.
Durable Skills Are the Lever Underneath
A student with a clear sense of purpose shows up. A student with self-control stays out of the discipline data. The Outcomes Wheel makes that link explicit — attribute by attribute, metric by metric.

Eight Durable Skills.
Eight Outcomes the State Already Tracks.
Hover or tap any skill on the inner wheel to see the measurable outcome it moves — and the state priority that outcome reports to. This is the district ROI map: nothing we measure ends in a metric you don't already own.

The Eight State Priorities are established by California's Local Control Funding Formula (Education Code § 52060(d)) and reported through every district's LCAP and the California School Dashboard. CASEL® is a registered trademark of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning.
Every State Has a Version
of This List
The Eight State Priorities are California's frame — but the outcomes on the Wheel are universal accountability currency.
Federal Accountability
Every state ESSA plan includes an indicator of school quality or student success — chronic absenteeism, climate, and college readiness are the most common choices. The Wheel maps to all three.

Where districts have adopted a Portrait of a Graduate, the Wheel's durable skills crosswalk directly onto its competencies — and give each one a measurable outcome instead of a poster.
