MDEs PET Committee discovered. Over 3500 PET submissions with few technical assistance calls Questions in ASSIST Diagnostic differed from original PET template Wide interpretation and responses to sub-questions Lack of measureable objectives Written summaries did not convey actual processes TOT model has not yet reached all PET users Additional scaffolding and resources are needed
Response to Lessons Learned Developed additional tools and resources: Established criteria for reviewing Program Evaluation submissions Completed Program Evaluation Template that includes tips from the Criteria document (aligned to ASSIST) Created two exemplars Restructured the PET (sequence to match the process) Will provide additional training opportunities, coaching & modeling.
