  2. Promising Practice Briefs:Approving, Monitoring, and Evaluating Providers • Commissioned by the Office of Innovation and Improvement • To be developed and released in fall 2008

  3. Promising Practice Briefs Sources of data • State SES Director Survey Completed by All States • National Meetings • Site Visits to States • Interviews with SES Directors • Authors’ Experiences as SES Consultants and Researchers

  4. Recruitment Two-thirds of the states actively (14%) or informally (52%) recruit providers via: • Direct invitations • Web announcements • District publicity • State meetings and other means

  5. Application Requirements Aside from core application information, states include as optional components: • Attendance at informational meetings • Recommendations from former clients • A detailed plan for communicating with teachers, parents, and district coordinators • In-person interview • Demonstration/description of a tutoring lesson • Identification of minimum tutor qualifications

  6. Strategies Used in the Approval Process

  7. The Most Successful Practices • Application review using independent review teams (f = 19) • Clear scoring rubrics (f = 9) • Technical assistance to applicants (f = 5) • Requesting curriculum and tutoring descriptions (f = 2) • Provider interview (f = 2)

  8. Challenges

  9. Desired Improvements Multiple states want to improve their process by: • Requiring submission of lesson plans • Adding an interview process • Strengthening scoring rubric • Improving reviewer training

  10. Increased Federal Assistance Increased federal assistance is desired in the areas of: • Specific guidance in practices and policies • Facilitating networking and information sharing between states

  11. Monitoring Focus Nearly all states view the main focus of monitoring to be: • Provider compliance with rules and regulations (93%) • Districts’ implementation of SES (84%)

  12. Applications • Three-fourths (74%) of the states use a “formal” monitoring process • Almost 80% use monitoring results formally (38%) or informally (40%) in evaluating providers

  13. Feedback and Capacity • Feedback • 55% of states produce a written report • 23% have face-to-face meetings • Capacity • 45% monitor all providers each year • 75% monitor at least half yearly

  14. Types of Technical Assistance

  15. On-Site Monitoring Activities (33%) • Visits may be announced or random • Includes online and in-home providers • Review of tutoring documents, materials, etc. • Uses checklist, rubric, or rating scale • May be one person or a team • Tutors or students may be interviewed • Most often at school or community site

  16. Desk Monitoring • End-of-year fiscal and participation report • Quarterly reports • On-line implementation tracking • Provider self-evaluation • Parent and student satisfaction surveys • Complaints regarding provider compliance • Comparison of provider vs. district enrollment data

  17. District Monitoring • Supplementary for some states • The only monitoring done in other states

  18. Most Successful Practices

  19. Challenges
