Notes from slide 10: Question: If I provide a summary of the overall report, am I writing the report twice? Answer: No! This should be a much broader more abbreviated version of your larger PPR

Notes from slide 11: Question: Where do we come up with our evaluation activities? Answer: The first place we suggest starting is with the evaluation section of the State Plan – here you would have outlined all of the different approaches your council has outlined for evaluating progress on your state plan, secondly check out some of the evaluation tools that will be coming out of ITACC in the near future, third reach out to other councils and see what activities they are undertaking to help evaluate their state plan

Notes from slide 12: This section is a summary of the evaluation data you have collected over the last FY Types of data included: Qualitative and Quantitative

Notes from slide 13: Summarize the following information –
especially self-advocacy
TIPS: Look at the data collected and decide how best to summarize it Make sure the data you collected matches the data you agreed to collect in you FY17 Work Plan
in FY18
Measurement sections of your FY17 work plan, make sure to summarize it as well Question – If I report the results here, do I have to report any results in the progress narratives? Answer – Yes. All narrative must include a summary of evaluation activities to monitor progress and impact of council supported activities; data collected during the year, data sources (where you got the data), and data collection methods (how you got the data). And all narratives must include the AIDD performance measures for the activities being reported in the narrative.

Notes from slide 15: Purpose – to provide AIDD input on possible national priorities in the disability field and possible areas of collaboration at the federal/national level A few suggestion regarding where these ideas come from?
The key is to take some time to generate ideas to share with AIDD based on quantitative and/or qualitative sources Questions –
Answers –
and agenda!
data, needs assessment data, and input from others through brainstorming or planning sessions or surveys.
“approval” of the Governor.

Notes from slide 16: Parts of this section will need to be repeated and done for each goal and/or objective. There is a distinction between objective and goal narratives! Objective narrative – includes providing an overall description of this objective, which should at a minimum include background information on the objective to establish a context for the activities of the objective. Goal narrative - For each goal that you are reporting on in the PPR, provide an overall description of the progress you made in achieving that goal, it’s outcomes, what barriers you encountered and if state plan amendments are required based on the results from the FY you are reporting on. We will go into more detail about the goal narrative a little later in the presentation.

your long term
that goal based
logic model?

Notes from slide 20: Helpful hints – For the FY, did the major activities of the objective(s) under the goal work toward accomplishing that Council goal? Does your evaluation data (outputs and outcomes, AIDD PMs) for each objective indicate that progress was made toward reaching the Council goal? Looking at your 5 Year Summary Logic Model, are you closer to or further from your long term

Notes from slide 22: Demographic and performance measure guidance documents are forthcoming Question: What are outputs? Outcomes? Answer: Great question! Outputs are referring to some of the tangible “products”, #’s, and data that you get from your council efforts. For example: the # of people trained, # of websites created, # of trainings implemented, # of new policies created. Outputs often can be calculated and shown
trained 100 people, that’s great but so what? What is the larger impact, value, or results of training those 100 people? Outcomes for that output could be - 100 people are now more knowledgeable about supported decision making, or 100 people are now participating in advocacy events because of their participation in the training. Outcomes can be reported numerically too, but often also include some qualitative data collection and discussion as well.
