PDG B-5 Program Performance Evaluation

PDG B-5 Program Performance Evaluation

The Program Performance Evaluation (PPE) was a component of the PDG B-5 funding opportunity awarded to states. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) jointly with the Department of Education (ED) (the Departments) requested grantees develop a plan for conducting PPEs that will allow them to monitor progress toward their state’s early care and education plan and program goals and objectives and use the resulting information to inform continuous quality improvement. This initial guidance attached provides an introduction to PPE and recommendations for grantees to consider as they develop their individualized PPE plans. Grantees should tailor their PPE plans and activities according to what is reasonable and feasible for their program. Plan or activity components’ application and appropriateness depend on grantees’ goals, objectives and PPE readiness.

PDG B-5 Project Management Tool

For a project to meet its goals, stay on budget, and adhere to deadlines, there must be a strong plan in place for management and accountability of project activities. In projects such as the PDG B-5 grant, with different activities and a multitude of tasks and components within each, many grantees have found a need for a tool to help them track project work. This document provides a breakdown of some of the project management tools available that may be able to support grantees in their work, along with brief descriptions for each. These tools are not being endorsed by PDG B-5. Each grantee must identify the functions and tools that best align with their project work.
