Intended as a general blueprint for monitoring and assessing activities under the Youth Employment and Demonstration Projects Act of 1977, this document discusses the expected constraints, evaluation and assessment tools, the analytic framework, and monitoring and review schedule. Five problem areas are recognized as potential constraints in implementation of the project activities. To minimize these problems, a complete spectrum of analytic tools is suggested, including the following assessment and evaluation approaches: office of youth programs issue papers, grant narratives, program data, continuous longitudinal manpower survey, national longitudinal survey, outside monitoring and assessment network, regional office assessment reviews, national office reviews, and impact assessments. The analytical framework suggested is based on ten basic principles, assumptions, and goals which include the following elements: knowledge development, youth participation, serving those most in need, avoiding substitution, minimizing overhead, institutional change, service deliverers, program integration, and implementation. Finally a detailed schedule for the implementation of the assessment efforts is presented. (BM)
