CIPMS

Learner Follow-up and exit

Literacy and Basic Skills agencies are required to follow up with learners at three and six months after they exit the program. The following form is an example of how to keep track of when to track learners and of where they are. This type of form can easily be set up using either word processing software (Microsoft Word or WordPerfect) or in a spreadsheet format like Excel. You could add additional columns depending on the needs of your agency.

Consolidated Tracking

Different programs will have different tracking needs. The following examples are some ways that programs have tried to consolidate a variety of learner information in one place: LBS Learner Statistical Tracking Sheet and Consolided Site Analysis. Rather than creating a huge pile of forms and paperwork, making one form serve many purposes can be both effective and efficient, two important CIPMS principles. Thanks to the North Channel Literacy Council and Cambrian College.

Learner Feedback

The Agency Assessment Guide encourages LBS agencies to gather stakeholder feedback when developing their CIPMS plan. The following are some examples of ways to gather learner feedback: Program Evaluation (Learner), Program Evaluation - Survey for Exited Learners, Teacher Evaluation and Subject Evaluation. Thanks to Cambrian College and Northern College.
