Educational Resources

The Standards for ExcellenceŽ educational resource packets were prepared by conducting an exhaustive review of the literature on the packet topic and packaging the materials in an easy-to-use format. The cover memo for each packet helps organizations make good use of the materials.

The educational resource packets include information on the importance of implementing specific standards, justification for the standards, best practices associated with the topic, model procedures and sample policies. The attachments include both original materials created by the Standards for Excellence Institute, as well as documents that have been obtained with permission from other sources.

Educational Resource Packets are available to support Standards for Excellence Implementation. Most (23 of 24) are free for PANO Members.
