  2. Learning Outcomes for Today’s SessionFederal Program Monitoring (FPM) • The participant will be able to: • Locate the FPM protocol (Title I, Part A) • Formulate action plan for FPM visit • Organize documentation in advance of FPM visit • Identify acceptable evidence to support responses • Provide responses to probing questions • Respond to schedule request for FPM visit (on-site or virtual)

  3. Purpose of FPM • As a result of monitoring, the state is able to gather data about local educational agency (LEA) needs and use these data to design technical assistance initiatives. Monitoring serves not only as a means for helping LEAs achieve high-quality implementation of educational programs; it also helps the state to provide necessary support for LEAs. • Monitoring of programs administered by the state is necessary to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education.
