Investing in Partnerships for Student Success

STEP 9: Review Annual Results and Plan for the Future

PURPOSE:

 Use this template to assist in the preparation of an annual summary program report to disseminate to audiences throughout a community. Information about program progress and challenges that is collected, analyzed, recorded and reported, guides decision making for future partnership efforts.

DIRECTIONS

List your objectives for each priority area (from Template 5). Cite the baseline measures that guided these objectives and then describe the progress made toward meeting these objectives. This progress should clearly demonstrate annual learning and achievement results for your designated customers (Template 5). Briefly cite measurement tools and then describe the report?s form, content, and audiences.

Then, based upon progress reports (Template 8) and this annual evaluation, cite your next steps?the decisions you have made regarding future changes in: partnership management; objectives; recruitment, reallocation, and use of resources; refinement, extension, and/or elimination of activities; and overall program revision, maintenance, and expansion.

Finally, list changes in future action committee membership.
