Pennsylvania Department of Education Migrant Education Program Project Area Monthly Report Narrative Form The Pennsylvania Department of Education Migrant Education Program has committed itself to an ongoing, comprehensive program evaluation process, both for complying with program requirements and reporting as well as for using evaluation findings for continuous program improvement in order to best serve migrant students and their families. There are a number of elements included in this statewide evaluation, many of which are student-focused and collected through the MIS2000 database. However, program implementation information is equally important so that the program leadership and evaluators understand what is happening at the project area level. This information provides context to other findings and is also used to fulfill reporting and program requirements. Submit ONE REPORT of each type per month, per project area.
