Past Framework (2021-2023): Direct Impact (e.g., personalized professional learning) and Indirect Impact (e.g., online resources access).

Current Framework (2023-2024): Aligns with the Statewide System of Support mapping of resources and defines impact derived from the A Pragmatic Playbook for Impact by Cortez and Wade of Bellwether Education Partners. Categories include:
- Direct, widespread, and systemic impact.
- Universal, targeted, and intensive support.
