sharing of program effectiveness and student learning outcome data.
With the implementation of the 2021 Standards, the process for submission and review of
the interim report changed slightly. Six months before the interim report is due, the
program director will receive notification from the office that the report is due and that
they may access the interim report via the AMS Portal. Soon after this notification, a
JRCERT professional staff member will reach out to the program offering initial advice and
additional resources. The program director will then be enrolled in an optional interim
report module in the LINK LMS. After completing the module, the program can reach out
to the professional staff member for a phone conference if they have additional questions
or concerns.
After the interim report is submitted through the Portal, staff will review the
documentation and then forward the report to the JRCERT Board of Directors for
deliberation.
Many resources are available to programs as they work to submit their interim report:
Interim Report Checklist, Interim Report Module, 2021 Standards Flipbooks, and JRCERT
Professional Staff. You are strongly encouraged to utilize these resources to submit the
best possible interim report.
