Training for the battle!Training for the battle!• The CPM Office coordinates and schedules date of CPM

visit each ELA.

- Electronic CAIS review

- Entrance meeting (at DO)

- School site visit(s)

- Exit meeting (at DO)

• The CPM visit is combination of:

– Document review (onsite & CAIS online)

– Interviews

– Observations

• The most compliant CPMs are well organized and planned several months before the CPM scheduled review.

• Implementing a file folder system of documentation is highly recommended

• Focus on current year as much as possible

BASP– Identifies review items– CPM review based on this document

OPSET (Ongoing Program Self-Evaluation Tool)

– Same Items as BASP instrument, with additional resources for LEA.

• Seven Program dimensions– 15% means, 15%– Lesson plans aren’t exclusive to day teachers– Keep track of big purchases– Monitors want to visit your program

• Suggestions– Clearly label and categorize materials– SAVE THE TREES!; redirect readers to avoid redundancy– Avoid a disconnect with day CPM presentation– Keep attendance clean– Add up the match

Champion C.A.I.S. TipsHow was your experience with using CAIS?

I found the system to be very simple overall, just time consuming

What problems did you encounter using it? Each time you uploaded a document to a

specific domain, I found it cumbersome to have to go back to main menu to upload another document, making the process slower. Each time you saved/made changes, it took a little while to save. This may have been corrected by now though.

Did you have to scan all docs or were you able to send electronic files.

I scanned 90% of my documents, however, it ended up being much more than were needed. Also, I was able to provide other documentation upon request when visited by team

Champion C.A.I.S. TipsDo you have any user-friendly tips for others using CAIS?

Scan all hard copy documents to a high speed scanner if possible that automatically converts documents to .pdfs, and title each document by domain and subdomain name with a brief description of it. If a document is already in an electronic format, modify the title so that it is consistent with the domain, as mentioned previously.

Any surprises overall? Just that I probably could have saved myself a lot

of time in not needing to upload as many documents than were actually needed. However, there is really no way to  get around this because I would rather be overly prepared than not enough.
