Tracking, Evaluation & Quality Improvement Program
What gets measured gets done
If you don't measure results, you can't tell success from failure
If you can't see success, you can't reward it
if you can't reward success, you're probably rewarding failure
If you can't see success, you can't learn from it
If you can't recognize failure, you can't correct it.
If you can demonstrate results, you can win public support.

The WVCTSI requires rigorous, ongoing tracking and evaluation to ensure that overall goals are achieved. The Tracking, Evaluation and Quality Improvement Program will be responsible for gathering data, analyzing them to determine whether or not adequate progress is being made toward each overall CTR Aim, and whether each core is effectively carrying out their planned activities and progressing toward meeting their specific aims. TEQuIP will assist each program in their evaluation process, empowering core personnel to prevent, recognize, and solve their own problems rather than simply conducting prescribed activities. TEQuIP will be housed in the Program Evaluation and Research Center of the College of Human Resources & Education at West Virginia University, allowing it increased autonomy and external perspective from which to develop and recommend process changes when necessary. TEQuIP will be mission driven, results-oriented, and transparent in its tracking, evaluation, and quality improvement efforts.
