Supporting PDS Development

The assessment process is intended to support the ongoing development of PDS partnerships. As a result of engaging in the assessment process, the partnership increases its ability to move forward in directions that strengthen its work.

A Tool for Accountability

The assessment process is a tool for accountability and quality assurance in PDS partnerships. The process results in thoughtful, substantive conclusions about how the work of the partnership currently meets the PDS Standards.
