Employment Preparation Education (EPE) Guidelines for the National External Degree Program (NEDP) (Updated 3-27-13)
In distance learning, all students (clients) should be assessed through an initial one-time only intake process, which is EPE reimbursed using the traditional EPE formula and should be recorded in a traditionally coded class and named appropriately as “Intake”.
NEDP EPE Aid for Orientation – Claim one week per client (one time only) NEDP instructional activities in ASISTS must be coded as distance learning. The Advisor makes the decision to move the client to generalized assessment once the client is able to demonstrate minimum required diagnostic assessment cut scores and completes all other diagnostic phase requirements.
NEDP EPE Aid for Weekly Face-to-Face Generalized Assessment Sessions – Claim one week per client (weekly)Each NEDP assessor should have his/her own “instructional offering” coded as an NEDP distance learning class to accommodate entering a “1 (one)” per week into ASISTS that will reflect 6 contact hours weekly.
NEDP EPE Aid for First Assessor Review of the 71 Competencies – Claim two weeks over a two week period per client (one time only) In ASISTS, for this Assessor review, a “2 (two)” should be recorded in that two week period.
NEDP EPE Aid for Portfolio Reviewer Comprehensive Evaluation of 71 Competencies – Claim two weeks per client (one time only). In ASISTS, for this Portfolio Review, a “2 (two)” should be recorded in that two week period. The Assessor of record then turns the portfolio to a trained NEDP staff (Portfolio Reviewer) to perform a cold review of the client’s portfolio.
Please take note of the following NYSED policy: • If the second review by the Portfolio Reviewer determines that all work is not demonstrated at 100 percent mastery, the student’s work is returned to the first assessor. • If the client has not demonstrated all competencies at 100 percent by the second and final review, the client may continue in the NEDP program but the agency may no longer claim EPE contact hours for this client.
The clients enrolled in NEDP may receive up to 3 (three) hours of in person tutoring per week as described in the Employment Preparation Education (EPE) Manual Section 202.01 if needed. [Note: tutoring instruction cannot be completed by NEDP staff who is serving as the assessor/advisor to the client.] Please Note: Tutoring instruction cannot be completed by NEDP staff who is serving as an advisor/assessor for the client. These hours can be claimed at the agency’s traditional EPE rate
