Explanation: For all years that data are reported, the Actual Performance data are shown as the percent of respondents who found training and collaboration with the Consortia to be moderately or extensively useful. In 2003, clients who were surveyed were those who received intensive services (i.e. 12 or more hours of training and technical assistance). Additionally; the Consortia has been collecting data on the impact of their services on student achievement. Data show positive student achievement at sites that received intensive assistance.  
Additional Source Information: Consortia/Clearinghouse Network Evaluation report. The primary sources for this report are the Consortia and Clearinghouse Descriptive Data System (CCDDS) and participant surveys.

Frequency: Annually.
Collection Period: 2003 - 2004
Data Available: March 2004
Validated By: No Formal Verification.
Common definitions and common data collection procedures are established across each Consortium. Statistical standards are applied. Data are subjected to Cross-Consortia's Eisenhower Network Evaluation Committee internal review and validation procedures.

Limitations: 2003 data have not been subjected to external audit.

 

Objective 8.2 of 2: Eisenhower Regional Mathematics and Science Education Consortia Internal Objective 2
Indicator 8.2.1 of 1: Dissemination: The total number of Consortia contacts with customers, by print or by electronic media (“hits” on Web sites plus other electronic communications), will increase by 10 percent annually, and a majority of the recipients will report that the information contributed to improving their work.

Status: Target exceeded

Explanation: With the increasing costs of print dissemination, the Consortia expanded their electronic dissemination efforts resulting in a jump in electronic media contacts. Beginning in 2001, data were collected using newer, more accurate, widely accepted techniques for representing the number of contacts that customers had with Web-based information. Shown for 2001 is the baseline of page views, not Web hits.  
Additional Source Information: Consortia/Clearinghouse Network Evaluation report. The primary sources for this report are the Consortia and Clearinghouse Descriptive Data System (CCDDS) and participant surveys..

Frequency: Annually.
Collection Period: 2002 - 2003
Data Available: March 2004
Validated By: No Formal Verification.
Common definitions and common data collection procedures established across each Consortium. Statistical standards are applied. Data are subjected to Cross-Consortia's Eisenhower Network Evaluation Committee internal review and validation procedures.

Improvements: Improved information technology has enabled more accurate assessment of the number of Web-based customer contacts.
