Data Tools for Monitoring and Program Improvement

Many data checks are written into the Statewide ABE Database.

At any time programs can pull their data into Excel spreadsheets from the statewide database. They can sort the data in endless ways and use it to figure out who needs to be post-tested, who hasn't been attending, which extended site has not been getting their data in, etc.
