**Introduction**

The Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), enacted as Title II
of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998, is the principal source
of Federal support to States for adult education and literacy programs
and activities. Congress appropriated \$442 million for AEFLA grants to
States for Program Year (PY) 2000-2001 (or Fiscal Year 2000), the time
period discussed in this report. Nationally, this amount represented
about 25 percent of the total amount expended at the State and local
levels to support adult education and literacy in PY 2000-2001. States
distribute 82.5 percent of the Federal funds they receive competitively,
using 12 quality criteria identified in the law, to local adult
education providers. These may include local educational agencies,
community-based organizations, volunteer literacy organizations,
institutions of higher education, and others. Local providers use these
funds to offer adult basic education, adult secondary education, and
English literacy instruction in a variety of settings, including through
workplace literacy programs and family literacy programs that serve
young children and parents simultaneously. In PY 2000-2001, over two and
one-half million individuals received services from an estimated 3,500
to 4,000 local providers.

When AEFLA was reauthorized in 1998, Congress made accountability for
results a central focus of the new law, setting out new performance
accountability requirements for States and local programs that measure
program effectiveness on the basis of student academic achievement and
other outcomes. The law identifies three core indicators that must be
used to assess State performance. These are:

-   Demonstrated improvements in the literacy skill levels in reading,
    writing and speaking English, numeracy, problem-solving, English
    language acquisition, and other literacy skills;

-   Placement in, retention in, or completion of postsecondary
    education, training, unsubsidized employment, or career advancement;
    and

-   Receipt of a secondary school diploma or a recognized equivalent.

If they choose, States also may identify additional performance
indicators for adult education and literacy activities and incorporate
these indicators, as well as annual levels of performance for them, in
their State plans.

The Department and each State reach agreement on annual levels of
performance for each of the core indicators. Levels for Program Years
1999 through 2003, the authorization period of the law, have been agreed
upon. The Department is required to report State performance results to
the Congress and the public each year. This report sets out the
performance data submitted by States for Program Year 2000-2001, the
first full year of state reporting under all accountability requirements
of AEFLA.

In order to implement the accountability provisions of AEFLA, the
Department expanded its collaborative work with States on the
development of the National Reporting System (NRS) for adult education.
The NRS standardizes the measurement of the core indicators across
States and establishes procedures for collecting and reporting student
outcome data to enhance its validity and reliability.

To measure education gain, as required by AEFLA, the NRS establishes a
hierarchy of educational functioning levels from beginning literacy
through adult secondary education. The NRS describes the reading,
writing, numeracy, functional and workplace skills (and, for English
literacy, speaking and listening skills) comprised within each
educational functioning level. It identifies a corresponding set of
benchmarks on commonly used standardized assessments, such as the Tests
of Adult Basic Education (TABE) and the Comprehensive Adult Student
Assessment System (CASAS), as examples of how students functioning at
each level would perform on these tests.

The remaining core indicators identified in the law measure outcomes
achieved by students following their participation in adult education,
such as attainment of a high school diploma or its equivalent, placement
in employment, and placement in postsecondary education or other
training. The NRS sets out common definitions for each of these
measures, the applicable student population, and appropriate methods of
collecting student data.

**How to Read the Data in This Document**

What follows is a series of tables, displaying the highlights of the
national performance picture and then each State's[^1] statistical
profile. The data demonstrate that, on average, most States met or
exceeded their performance targets in this first year of reporting under
the National Reporting System.

While the NRS promotes greater standardization in how States measure and
collect data on student outcomes, it does not demand uniformity. States
retain considerable flexibility to design accountability systems that
accommodate differences in State and local needs, priorities, resources,
and delivery systems. As a result, data in this report are not directly
comparable across States.

For example, although the NRS sets out a framework for describing and
measuring educational functioning levels, each State establishes the
assessment procedures that local programs use to identify a student's
functioning level at intake and then after a period of instruction. One
State may choose to use a standardized test, such as CASAS, while
another may choose to use a validated portfolio assessment that reflects
the basic skill areas identified in the NRS. Differences in the methods
States use to collect data also limit the comparability of data across
States. States that use UI wage records to determine the employment
status of former students may report more accurate results than States
that rely on voluntary self-reports by former students.

Although the outcome data included in this report are not entirely
comparable across States, they do give us the best overview of national
adult education performance available in the program's history. A
State's success in improving the effectiveness of its adult education
programs is best measured by comparing the student outcomes it achieves
from year to year, and not by comparing its outcomes to those reported
by other States in the same year.

A national table on "Meeting/Not Meeting Performance Targets" identifies
the number of states meeting or not meeting the agreed upon levels of
performance on each of the five core outcome measures -- educational
gain, high school completion, transition to postsecondary education or
training, entered employment, and job retention. The results of this
year's data show that more states exceeded their performance targets
than did not meet their targets (Exhibit 1). Thirteen states exceeded
their performance targets on five outcome measures including all
educational gain sub-measures.

National tables on each of the core outcome measures compare actual
performance to targeted performance and provide national totals for the
number of adults achieving each of the program outcomes (Exhibits 2 --
7). The data show that nationally the average performance on each of the
core outcome measures exceeded the average performance target for each
measure.

State tables included in this report begin with a one-page demographic
display of each State's program including the amount of Federal adult
education funds allocated to the State for FY 2001. The second page of
each State analysis contains a summary of the State's performance on
each performance measure required by AEFLA. The State's performance
target is compared to its actual performance on each measure, a "status"
column displays an arrow indicating whether the State exceeded, met, or
did not meet its target, and the last column identifies the total number
of adults achieving each outcome. Information is also included that
describes the methodologies used by the State to collect and validate
information for each of the core measures.

Summary of National Performance Results

The central measures of the adult education performance accountability
system are the student *outcome* measures. The five core outcome
measures address the requirements for core indicators of performance in
the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act of the Workforce Investment
Act

The 2000-2001 program year data represents the first year of reporting
under the full requirements of the Adult Education and Family Literacy
Act. The data from the 2000-2001 program year establishes performance
benchmarks for each of the five core outcome measures and will be used
to evaluate continuous improvement efforts of the states over the
remaining years of AEFLA.

## 

Exhibit 1, above, identifies the number of states by core outcome
measure that met or exceeded their performance targets and the number of
states that did not meet their targets. Forty-seven states met or
exceeded the average performance targets negotiated for the basic
literacy sub-measures for educational gain with five states not meeting
negotiated targets. Forty-one states met or exceeded the average
performance targets negotiated for the English literacy (English
language acquisition) sub-measures for educational gain with eleven
states not meeting targets. Forty-one states met or exceeded their
targets for the high school completion measure with forty-four states
meeting or exceeding their performance targets for transitioning into
postsecondary education or training. Forty-eight states met or exceeded
their performance targets for the employment measures of entered
employment and job retention. Overall, thirteen states met or exceeded
all their targets on the core performance measures.

Exhibits (2-7) provide a national comparison of actual performance to
the average performance targets established for each of the five core
outcome measures.

**Education Gain -- Basic Literacy Skills**

> Percent of adults enrolled who acquired the level of basic skills
> needed to complete at least one education level (minimum Grade Level
> Equivalent -- 2 years)

**466,846 adults advanced one or more education levels**

Exhibit 2 compares actual to targeted performance for the basic skill
educational gain measure. Nationally, thirty-six percent of adults
enrolled in basic skills instruction (reading, numeracy, English
language arts, problem solving, etc.) demonstrated improvement in basic
skills and advanced one or more educational functioning levels. Each
enrolled adult is initially placed (through formalized assessment) in
one of five educational levels, which are arranged in a hierarchy from
beginning literacy to the high school level, and demonstrate educational
gain through subsequent formal assessment.

##  **Education Gain - English Language Acquisition**

> Percent of enrolled adults who acquired the level of English language
> skills needed to complete at least one educational level.

**350,271 adults advanced one or more educational levels.**

Exhibit 3 compares actual performance to targeted performance for the
English Literacy educational gain measure. Nationally, thirty-two
percent of adults enrolled in English literacy instruction demonstrated
improvement in English language skills and advanced one or more
educational functioning levels. Each enrolled adult is initially placed
(through formalized assessment) into one of six educational levels,
which are arranged in a hierarchy of skills from non-speakers of English
to highly proficient speakers of English and demonstrate English
language acquisition through subsequent formal assessment.

###### Exhibit 4

![](media/image3.wmf)

#####  High School Completion

> *Percent of enrolled adults with a high school completion goal who
> earned a high school diploma or GED.*

**197,720 adults earned a high school diploma or a GED.**

Exhibit 4 compares actual performance to targeted performance for the
high school completion measure. Nationally, thirty-three percent of all
enrolled adults with a high school completion goal obtained a high
school diploma or GED.

###### Exhibit 5

![](media/image4.wmf)

##### Entered Postsecondary Education or Training

*Percent of enrolled adults with a goal to transition to postsecondary
education or training who enrolled in postsecondary education or
training after exiting the program*

**53,860 adults enrolled in postsecondary education or training.**

Exhibit 5 compares actual performance to targeted performance for the
postsecondary education or training measure. Nationally, twenty-five
percent of enrolled adults who had a goal of furthering their education
after completing adult education transitioned into a postsecondary
education or training program.

### Exhibit 6

![](media/image5.wmf)

**Entered Employment**

> Percent of enrolled adults with an employment goal who were employed
> one quarter after program exit.

**137,649 adults were employed one quarter after program exit.**

Exhibit 6 compares actual performance to targeted performance for the
entered employment measure. Nationally, thirty-one percent of enrolled
adults with an employment goal were employed one quarter after exiting
the program.

**Exhibit 7**

###### 

######  Job Retention

> Percent of adults who retained a job three quarters after program
> exit.

**232,723 adults retained employment three quarters after leaving the
program.**

Exhibit 7 compares actual performance to targeted performance for the
job retention measure. Nationally, sixty-two percent of adults who had
obtained a job one quarter after exiting the program and/or enrolled in
the program with a goal to retain or improve their job status were still
employed three quarters after exiting the program.
