Each Head Start program undergoes a Federal monitoring review process once every three years. The Program Review Instrument for Systems Monitoring (PRISM) software assists Federal Team Leaders and Head Start reviewers in organizing and recording their findings during these reviews. Reviewers can use PRISM to generate reports which summarize their findings. Data from the reviews is then compiled at the Regional and National level to determine training and technical assistance needs and generate reports for Congress. PRISM includes the text of the performance standards within the software and allows users to search the standards by keyword. AIR provides technical support for reviewers by conducting training sessions, accompanying reviewers in the field and operating a technical support hotline.
