  2. Participant vs Reportable Individual

  3. Program Entry and Exit

  4. Program Entry and Exit • Program Exit is what we call separating. • A student separates only when they have not attended services for 90 days and no future services are planned. • There is not separation for receiving a HSE or telling the program they are leaving. • The separation is only recorded when the student no longer is enrolled in Adult Education instruction after 90 days. • The date of exit is the last day the student attended classes.

  5. Measurable Skill Gain Indicator (MSG) • Similar to Educational Functioning Level Gains, but with a few changes • 4 ways to get a MSG now • Individuals are counted based upon periods of participation (POP) • Adult Secondary Education High is now counted for a MSG since there are now several possible routes to get a MSG that apply to them • Reported in Table 4. New Tables published on www.nrsweb.org • Only one MSG counts per period of participation

  6. Measurable Skill Gain

  7. Secondary Diploma/Equivalent • New Method to earn a MSG • Any student with 12 or more hours who receives their AHS or HSE diploma in the program year gets counted as a measurable skill gain (MSG)

  8. Educational Functioning Level Gain- Documented achievement of at least once educational functioning level of a participant who is receiving instruction below the postsecondary education level. Programs may measure educational functioning level gain in one of three ways: The approved pre- and post-tests must be based on the list of tests the Secretary of Education determines to be suitable for use in the National Reporting System for Adult Education. The list of approved assessments is published annually in the Federal Register.

  9. Method 1 to EFL Gain • (1) Comparing the participant’s initial educational functioning level, as measured by a pre-test, with the participant’s educational functioning level, as measured by a post-test. • No change from how we currently track level gain (test code/component with lowest EFL at the beginning of the program year)

  10. Method 2 to EFL Gain • (2) States that offer adult high school programs that lead to a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent may measure and report educational gain through the awarding of credits or Carnegie units. • Adult High School level gain occurs when students have completed the following: • Placed at ASEL for the program year • Have completed at least 50% of required credits to earn an Adult High School Diploma • Have completed one credit in the program year

  11. Method 3 to EFL Gain • (3) States may report an educational functioning level gain for participants who exit the program and enroll in postsecondary education and training during the program year. • Student exits the program during the program year (not received services for 90 days and no further services scheduled) • Student enrolls in post-secondary education and training during the program year

  12. Periods of Participation A new period of participation is counted each time a participant exits and reenters again, even if it occurs during the same program year.

  13. Periods of Participation (POP) Program Entry/ Reentry Program Exit PoP 1 PoP 2 PoP 3 • MSG is evaluated. • Follow-up must occur for exit-based measures. • MSG is evaluated again. • Follow-up must occur again for exit-based measures. • MSG is evaluated again. • Exit based measures are NOT evaluated because there is not an exit.

  14. Student Scenarios • Jane comes into your program on July 6 and stays in your program. • She pre-tests on July 6 at ABEHI • She post-tests on December 15 at ASEL • She remains in your program through June, but doesn’t post-test again. • How many periods of participation does Jane have? • How many Measurable Skills Gains (MSG) does she have?

  15. Student Scenarios • John comes into your program on July 6 and stays in your program until December 16. • He pre-tests on July 6 at ABEHI • He post-tests at ASEL on December 1 • He completes all his HSE by December 16 • He doesn’t come for classes after receiving his HSE • How many periods of participation does John have? • How many Measurable Skills Gains does have?

  16. Student Scenarios • Maria comes into your program on August 15 and stays in your program until November 16 and comes back on May 16. • He pre-tests on August 15 at ESLLI • No post-test was given before Maria exits in November • On May 16, Maria pre-tests at ESLLI • On June 30, Maria post-tests at ESLLI • How many periods of participation does Maria have? • How many measurable skills gains does Maria have?

  17. Additional WIOA Data • Final federal regulations included additional data elements not previously collected • An addendum of additional WIOA data elements and definitions will be coming out • In 2016-17 do the best you can to collect these data • Colleague: updated on September 1 with these data elements available to be marked • LACES: Will be available in the fall
