Program Reviews

The Adult Basic Education Office at SBCTC conducts in-person monitoring visits of local basic skills providers to ensure compliance with the National Reporting System (NRS). NRS stipulates that the state adult education office ensures data quality by monitoring local programs to identify if the providers are:

• adopting and implementing the state standardized test (CASAS),
• using the state data management system (WABERS),
• employing a student goal-setting process (Educational Interview or similar process),
• using a local data management system to ensure data access, accuracy, and reliability and to ensure that local staff are conducting regular data-checking,
• using data for program improvement and in program design, following the AIDDE process
• ensuring that students with functional limitations can access the test and classroom modifications required to demonstrate their educational development and achievements.
