Monitoring

State administrators monitor local programs for performance and compliance with state and federal policies and procedures. NRS products for program monitoring help with reviewing performance data review to evaluate the effectiveness of programs and identify areas with potential for improvement.

Desk Monitoring Template, Training, and Guide
Using a quantitative monitoring tool reduces the burden on state staff and helps supplement the more qualitative information gathered through onsite monitoring visits. The guide and training explain the monitoring process and how a desk monitoring tool fits in the larger process.

Report Card Templates, Training, and Guide
Report cards can be powerful and effective tools for accountability and program improvement. Programs can develop attractive, easy-to-understand report cards to evaluate quality, identify levels of performance, and provide information to people so they can make informed choices. A guide to developing report cards, templates, training materials, and state and local examples is available.
