ANNUAL REPORT NOTE: OBE Annual Reports are due either July 31, for alternate reporting cycle agencies or January 31, for calendar year reporting agencies.
DATA REPORTING NOTE: Both cycles will complete the Annual Report's attached data sheets using 12 months of data. Financial information is ONLY submitted once a year on the January 31 Annual Report's attached data sheets or, for alternate cycle reporting, on their January semi-annual data sheets.
TRAINING OPTIONS: Agencies who are beginning the process of Annual Outcome Based Evaluation Reporting or have new staff that needs to learn the process should plan to attend all four (4) components of training. The classes are meant to be attended in sequence, and are either optional or mandatory--Optional classes: Data Excel and Brown Bag Sessions, and Mandatory classes: Performance Measures and Writing The OBE Annual Report.
Please download all presentation materials and tools for your perusal and to bring to class. The class goals are described in each. It is suggested that you begin a portfolio of training materials, and/or create a desk manual of all training and resource materials, as well as your reporting history.
BASIC TRAINING: The Annual OBE Report training does not give instruction on the basics of developing an OBE system. If your agency is new or has staff that is new and need help developing your OBE system, please reference the mandatory class 'Essential Elements of Outcomes Based Training' listed above.
Registration: The City of Tacoma is the point of contact for registration at: hspc@cityoftacoma.org.
