Compendium of Supplemental PIRS for Education Programming

Supplemental indicators are a category of indicators that were pioneered by the Center for Education in 2018 in an attempt to bring some of the benefits of standardization to non-aggregatable custom indicators. Supplemental indicators do not need to be reported in the Performance Plan and Report (PPR) and will not be used for aggregate reporting. Supplemental Performance Indicator Reference Sheets (PIRS) are offered as a resource to Missions and other Operating Units (OUs) who wish to capitalize on accumulated knowledge of best practices and avoid the need to “reinvent the wheel” of developing technically sound PIRS and methodologies for priorities that are not a match for standard indicators.

This compendium provides an index to the supplemental indicators with links to the full text of each PIRS. PIRS contain detailed information about how to measure each indicator and should be reviewed comprehensively before reporting against an indicator.
