services that are delivered; (2) expert panel review of a sample of
projects undertaken by each Center to assess the quality of the
technical assistance provided; (3) a survey of Center clients to rate
the relevance, usefulness and other aspects of the services they have
received; and (4) a survey of senior SEA officials who are responsible
for negotiating with the Centers to ensure that the nature of technical
