Standardized Program Evaluation Protocol (SPEP)
Program Improvement Plan (PIP)

Directions:

A response is required for each area evaluated by SPEP. In those areas where program improvements are either not needed or will not be pursued please provide a brief explanation.

Utilizing the information gathered in the program improvement options and considerations outline provided by the AOC, please identify key characteristics and the timeline necessary for program improvement and implementation.

A separate PIP must be completed for each service evaluated by SPEP. Please note PIP(s) must be completed and submitted to the AOC Attention: Jeanne Brandner via email to jbrandner@courts.az.gov or fax (602) 452-3809 no later than October 1, 2008.

The AOC will complete a review of PIP(s) submitted and provide feedback, as appropriate. PIP(s) will be distributed to the juvenile probation departments accompanied by the providers' SPEP scores. This will allow the juvenile probation department the opportunity to view the SPEP scores while reviewing the providers' plan to address program improvement, where necessary.
