Over the last seven years, the American Institutes for Research (AIR) has developed many products and services to assist states in meeting NRS requirements. AIR has created training materials on using data for program improvement, online courses to orient new staff to the NRS, information, a database to help you choose an appropriate assessment to measure educational gain, briefs that provide you with practical tips on a variety of adult education topics, and reports that analyze national and state data describing adult education students. To better find what you are looking for, we have organized the products and services into the following five areas:

• Policy Guidance--User-friendly publications and online courses to guide you through NRS policies and procedures.
• Data Quality and Data Use--Tools and training materials to help you better understand and use your data.
• Monitoring--Adaptable templates and guides to assist you in successfully monitoring local programs for compliance and performance.
• Assessment--A searchable database and important information to help you select an appropriate assessment.
• Federal Data Reports--Accessible reports providing you with data and analysis to better understand the characteristics and performance
