Program Improvement and Accountability

Quick Links
The Program Improvement Process (PIP) provides career and technical education programs in South Dakota with a self evaluation to determine where the programs are and where they would like to be. As part of the process, teachers and advisory committees determine three to five goals to guide them in the improvement process. The PIP assists programs in meeting state and federal requirements and is required for career and technical education programs to achieve “Approved Program” status which makes them eligible for federal funding .
 
Perkins Accountability refers to the Core Indicators of Performance outlined in the Perkins legislation. South Dakota also calls the Indicators the "Standards and Measures." The Core Indicators provide a way for programs to "measure" themselves against negotiated levels of performance. Programs use the data results to aid them in determining program improvement goals and Perkins budget requests.
