program’s  success?

With support from the Dollar  General Literacy Foundation, ProLiteracy brings 
administrators and staff of  literacy and adult basic education programs 
field-tested strategies to adapt to  your programs’ accountability needs 
Data Collection and  Management 
The first of a three-part online series on  performance accountability.  The 
course deals with the foundation data  collection and management practices 
needed to ensure the availability of  credible, high-quality student data.  
Length:  approximately 3-4  hours 
This course will help  you: 
    *   Build common language and approach to  accountability  
    *   Organize collection and management efforts around key  decision 
points and staff roles  
    *   Increase confidence in your program’s data collection  and management 
practices 
Data Analysis for Program  Decision-Making  
The second in the series.  This course  helps administrators and staff learn 
why and how to institutionalize data-driven  decision-making practices.  
Length:  approximately 3-4  hours 
This course will help  you: 
The underlying premise of the course is that all  aspects of data-driven 
decision-making become institutionalized practices,  thereby establishing a 
culture of continuous  improvement. 
In this course you  will:  
    *   Review and practice data analysis skills   
    *   Improve quality of decision-making through a team  approach to data 
analysis and review  
    *   Streamline program improvement using practical  planning tools and 
strategies 
Coming in the fall of 2009:  Communicating Success to Stakeholders, the third 
course in the series.
