From the Ground Up has developed five unique monitoring tools that measure the achievement of a diversity of program outcomes in a variety of outcome areas including learners, tutors, practitioners, and community. The outcomes that have been identified cover the spectrum of community literacy work and articulate the changes that community literacy groups seek to achieve. The monitoring tools offer a variety of methods to measure some of the desired changes in each of the outcome areas. As a whole, the From the Ground Up monitoring tools collect an impressive amount of important information useful to both programs and funders.
