Below are links to sample work plans and corresponding instruments in a variety of service areas. These documents were developed by working groups of RSVP, Senior Companion, and Foster Grandparent program directors, Senior Corps staff, and Project STAR. These work plans and instruments illustrate one approach to standardizing performance measurement indicators across multiple projects. Developing standardized work plans and instruments requires balancing the desire of project directors for work plans that express the unique characteristics of their individual projects with the desire to standardize work plans and instruments across multiple projects. It is also important to maintain high standards for measuring performance by using instruments that collect valid and reliable data.
