Data Review is the process of collecting data, reflecting on it, and distilling it into actionable insights. This process is how you can turn data into knowledge and knowledge into action. Data Review requires going "below the surface" to find root causes for your results (both positive and negative) and planning actionable changes to continue improving your program.

A Performance Management Plan outlines how to assess a program’s progress towards making the desired Impact defined in its Logic Model, complete with key benchmarks to hit by specific dates. It is a reusable, consistent roadmap for finding rigorous answers to questions like “Are we on track?” or “What are we doing well?” or “How can we improve?”
Use these ten multiple-choice questions to design your tutoring program’s model dimensions. Model Dimensions are the specific design choices a new tutoring program makes at the outset. Each choice you make should have a clear rationale supported by your Landscape Analysis. Below we describe each of the Model Dimensions and outline a set of considerations for each dimension.
1. How are you targeting your tutoring, and what is your articulation for why tutoring is needed?
A Landscape Analysis outlines the strengths, resources, and needs of a particular community. It provides a framework for designing a service and ensuring that it is embedded directly in the needs of the community.
A Logic Model is a road map for thinking through how to create a desired change or outcome. Creating such a model requires a top-level articulation of the inputs and actions required for a program to produce results, and an adherence to a consistent internal logic regarding how the design of a program relates to its goals. For any tutoring program, a Logic Model should explain how the model itself, the supports, and the stakeholders will interact to produce the results that you aim to achieve for students.
