Compendium of Qualitative Narratives for Education Programming

Standardized Program Structure and Definitions (SPSD) Narratives, Key Issue Narratives, and Indicator Performance Narratives are collectively referred to as qualitative narratives. These narratives help the Center for Education understand and communicate aspects of programming and achievements that are not easily conveyed through numbers. 

This compendium provides clarifying instructions about what to include in each qualitative narrative. The compendium also provides formatting preferences (not required) to make it easier for the Center and other Washington Bureaus to use the narratives without the need for further clarification.
