The Even Start Family Literacy Program is subject to the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). The GPRA requires each agency and program to set targets for its performance; measure progress toward those targets; report on whether or not the targets have been met; and describe future strategies for continued striving toward those targets. This process is designed to improve program management, and to help Congress, the Department of Education, the Office of Management and Budget, and others review a program's progress toward its goals.
Under GPRA, the Secretary has established the following five (5) measures for evaluating the overall effectiveness of the Even Start Family Literacy Program, including the Women’s Prison Project grants:
All grantees must provide information on these performance measures in the annual performance reports.
For specific requirements on grantee reporting, please go to the ED Performance Report Form 524B at www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html.
