Benefits

NOT web-based. Efficient, decentralized collection without need for real-time Internet connection. Synch for centralized security/management.

Detail. Checkboxes and drop-down menus. Linked to registration. Drill down to individuals

Compliance. Low burden. High convenience. More comprehensive picture of the training and technical assistance deployed to districts.

Data Collection and Analysis

Accuracy. The web-based form improves the accuracy of data through: (a) embedded help to ensure that all SPPIP consultants have a common understanding of the data being requested; required fields to ensure completeness; and (c) “forced” selections to standardize responses.

Utility. Data collection is real time (on synching) and ongoing allowing for monitoring and on-demand reporting at multiple levels: program, consultant, district, and school.
