The state-administered grant program authorized under the Adult
Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), enacted as Title II of the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998, is the major source of federal
support for adult basic and literacy education programs. The purpose of
the grant is to provide educational opportunities to adults sixteen and
older, not currently enrolled in school, who lack a high school diploma
or the basic skills to function effectively in society, or who are
unable to speak, read, or write the English language.

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
employment related outcomes. To define and implement the accountability
requirements of AEFLA, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of
Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) established the National Reporting
System (NRS).

To monitor data collection procedures and to promote data quality
improvement, OVAE developed data quality standards to clarify the
policies, processes, and materials the states and local programs should
have in place to collect valid and reliable data. To assist states in
meeting the standards, OVAE has provided resources, training, and
technical assistance activities to improve data quality. OVAE has
provided individual technical assistance to states on NRS
implementation, published documents further refining NRS requirements,
including guidelines for conducting follow-up surveys. Since 2001, OVAE
has made available online training resources to states and local
providers.

States continue to make improvements to their data collection systems
and procedures, moving away from reliance on individual student survey
methodologies to collect and report performance on the
employment-related and postsecondary outcomes. The use of administrative
records to identify post-program outcomes (i.e., consulting unemployment
insurance wage records or other state agency administrative records) is
becoming more prevalent, and states are also improving their assessment
methods for measuring educational gain. Due to the requirements for
certifying data quality through the use of a data quality checklist,
more states are improving their local data collection systems.

In program year (PY) 2002--2003, the program enrolled 2,736,192
learners, of which just under 40 percent were enrolled in Adult Basic
Education, 18 percent were enrolled in Adult Secondary Education, and 43
percent were enrolled in English Literacy programs.

Below is a summary table providing a comparison of actual performance on
each of the core measures for adult education for the first three years
under the NRS. The data show a steady, modest increase in educational
gain (2--4 percentage points over three years), high school completion
(11 points), and postsecondary transition (5 points). The data reveal a
more significant gain for the two employment measures, entering and
retaining employment (6 and 7 points, respectively).

Adult education programs meet a critical need in our nation to improve
the literacy skills of adults and enhance their ability to be more
productive members of society and the workforce. 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
for adult basic skills programs. The purpose of the program, as defined
in AEFLA, is to:

-   Assist adults to become literate and obtain the knowledge and skills
    necessary for employment and self-sufficiency;

-   Assist adults who are parents to obtain the educational skills
    necessary to become full partners in the educational development of
    their children; and

-   Assist adults in the completion of a secondary school education.

The purpose of the state-administered grant program is to provide
educational opportunities for adults sixteen and older, not currently
enrolled in school, who lack a high school diploma, the basic skills, or
the ability to function effectively in the workplace or in their daily
lives. These state grants are allocated by formula based upon the number
of adults sixteen and over who are not enrolled or required to be
enrolled in secondary school and who do not have a secondary school
credential. This data is drawn from the U.S.Census on Population and
Housing as required by WIA, Title II.

The federal allocation for AEFLA grants to states for Program Year (PY)
2002--2003 (or Fiscal Year 2002) was \$564,833,768. Nationally, this
amount represented approximately 25 percent of the total amount expended
at the state and local levels to support adult education and literacy in
PY 2002--2003. States distribute 82.5 percent of the federal funds
competitively, using 12 quality criteria identified in the law, to local
adult education providers. The provider network includes a variety of
local agencies -- local educational agencies, community colleges,
community-based organizations, and volunteer literacy organizations.
Many adult education programs also work with welfare agencies at the
state and local level to provide instruction to adults needing basic
skills who are receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
benefits. In addition, adult education supports adults in job training
programs through partnerships with One Stop Career Centers and other job
training programs in the community.

Courses of instruction offered by local providers include:

-   Adult Basic Education (ABE), instruction in basic skills designed
    for adults functioning at the lower literacy levels to just below
    the secondary level;

-   Adult Secondary Education (ASE), instruction for adults whose
    literacy skills are at approximately the high school level, and who
    are seeking to pass the General Educational Development (GED) tests
    or obtain an adult high school credential; and

-   English Literacy (EL), instruction for adults who lack proficiency
    in English and who seek to improve their literacy and proficiency in
    English.

In PY 2002--2003, the program enrolled 2,736,192 learners, of which just
under 40 percent were enrolled in Adult Basic Education, 18 percent were
enrolled in Adult Secondary Education, and 43 percent were enrolled in
English Literacy programs, as shown in Table 1, below.

Accountability System -- The National Reporting System

Since Program Year 2000, the National Reporting System (NRS) has been
the accountability system for the adult education program. Each state
has established a performance accountability system that meets NRS
requirements and NRS data are the basis for assessing the effectiveness
of states in achieving continuous improvement of adult education and
literacy activities to optimize the return on investment of federal
funds \[P.L. 105-220 Section 212(a)\]. The NRS includes three core
indicators, identified in AEFLA, that are used to assess state
performance:

-   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
    \[P.L. 105-220, Section 212(b)(2)\].

These indicators are embodied in the five basic core measures of the
NRS:

-   **Educational Gain --** The percentage of adult learners in basic
    and English literacy programs who acquire the basic or English
    language skills needed (validated through standardized assessment)
    to complete the educational functioning level in which they were
    initially enrolled.

    To measure educational gain, the NRS established a hierarchy of six
    educational functioning levels from beginning literacy through high
    school-level completion, and six levels for English literacy, from
    beginning literacy level to high advanced. The levels are defined
    through reading, writing, numeracy, functional and workplace skills
    (and, for English literacy, speaking and listening skills) at each
    level. Included for each level is a corresponding set of benchmarks
    on commonly used standardized assessments, such as the Test 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.

-   **High School Completion** -- The percentage of adult learners with
    a high school completion goal who earned a high school diploma or
    recognized equivalent.

-   **Entered Postsecondary Education** -- The percentage of adult
    learners who establish a goal to continue their education at the
    postsecondary level and who entered postsecondary education or
    training after program exit.

-   **Entered Employment** -- The percentage of unemployed adult
    learners (in the workforce) with an employment goal who obtained a
    job within one quarter after program exit.

-   **Retained Employment** -- The percentage of adult learners with a
    job retention goal who (a) entered employment within one quarter
    after exiting and (b) were still employed in the third quarter after
    program exit.

States also may identify additional performance indicators for adult
education and literacy activities and incorporate these indicators, as
well as corresponding annual levels of performance, in their state
plans.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc89853768 .anchor}Setting Performance Benchmarks

The Adult Education and Family Literacy Act requires that states work
with OVAE to determine the levels of performance for the core measures
that become baseline performance levels for subsequent decisions related
to federal incentives. States that exceed the agreed upon performance
levels may be eligible for incentive awards. To qualify for an incentive
award, a state must exceed performance levels for Title I and Title II
of the Workforce Investment Act as well as for the Carl D. Perkins
Vocational and Technical Education Act.

The determination of whether a state has exceeded its adjusted levels of
performance is based on the state's cumulative achievement across all
measures. This is done by calculating the percent of the state adjusted
level achieved for each measure, and then averaging the percent achieved
across all measures. When the cumulative average exceeds 100 percent,
the state will be determined to have exceeded the overall adjusted
performance levels.

WIA section 503 indicates that incentive awards are to be issued in an
amount not less than \$750,000 and not more than \$3,000,000, to the
extent that funds are available; otherwise, prorated amounts are to be
awarded. In PY 2002--2003, forty-seven states exceeded their adult
education performance levels. Twenty-three of those states also exceeded
WIA Title I and Perkins performance levels and qualified to receive a
share of the \$25.4 million available for incentive awards for PY
2002--2003. The twenty-three states were: Alabama, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, and
Texas. In PY 2002--2003, AEFLA funds for the incentive grants were
\$10,100,151, Perkins funds were \$6,437,880, and WIA (Title I) were
\$7,922,000.

Table 4 identifies the core outcome measures and the number of states
that met, exceeded, or did not meet their performance targets on the
outcome measures for PY 2002--2003. Forty-three states met or exceeded
the average performance targets negotiated for the basic literacy
sub-measures for educational gain, while nine states did not meet their
negotiated targets. Forty states met or exceeded the average performance
targets negotiated for the English literacy (English language
acquisition) sub-measures for educational gain, while twelve states did
not meet their targets. Forty states met or exceeded their targets for
the high school completion measure, and forty-six states met or exceeded
their performance targets for transitioning into postsecondary education
or training. Forty-six states met or exceeded their performance targets
for the employment measure, and forty-one states met or exceeded their
job retention targets.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc89853769 .anchor}Measuring Educational Gain

Under the NRS, each state must establish standardized assessment
procedures local programs must use, first at intake, to identify an
adult learner's educational functioning level and then, after a period
of instruction, to measure educational gain (level advancement). States
are free to use the assessments that best address the needs of their
students and delivery system, but they must use *standardized*
assessments. Consequently, each state assesses students somewhat
differently, using different assessments and posttests of students at
different times. The most frequently used assessments are the Test of
Adult Basic Education (TABE), Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment
System (CASAS) and the Basic English Skills Test (BEST or BEST Plus),
the last used exclusively with English Literacy learners.

The following tables identify the number and percentage of adults
enrolled in each of the educational levels in the ABE, ASE, and EL
programs. The enrollment figures represent initial student placement
based on standardized tests administered at program entry. Within
ABE/ASE, the majority of students (46 percent) fall within the
intermediate level, while for English literacy the majority (52 percent)
are within the beginning level. Secondary (ASE) or advanced (EL) levels
comprise 31 and 15 percent, respectively.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc89853770 .anchor}Collecting Follow-up Measures

The four follow-up outcome measures need only be collected for students
who identified the outcomes as a goal for attending and who left the
program within this reporting period, July 1, 2002, through June 30,
2003. States may collect these measures through the use of
administrative records or through a follow-up survey. The use of
administrative records is clearly preferred because of its greater
accuracy and lower cost and is possible in most states for the high
school completion measure. In PY 2002--2003, 37 states used
administrative records to determine student outcomes for high school
completion and 3 additional states supplemented administrative records
with surveys. For the employment measures, consulting state unemployment
insurance (UI) wage records is the most efficient, accurate, and
cost-effective approach to determine the post-program employment
outcomes. However, not all states have the capability to use the UI
system due to data privacy issues or technical problems within their
states. Nonetheless, there was a significant improvement for PY
2002--2003 in the number of states using the UI wage records to validate
employment, with 28 states using this method solely (compared to 22
states in PY 2001) and an additional 4 states using this method in
combination with surveys. For entrance to postsecondary education, there
are few comprehensive databases available to states for measuring
postsecondary enrollment. Consequently, most states must use individual
student surveys to collect some or all of the follow-up measures. Table
7 identifies how states currently collect data for the four follow-up
measures.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc89853771 .anchor}Federal Investments to Improve
Program Data and Accountability

Through the NRS project, OVAE has provided states with training and
technical assistance to improve the quality and use of NRS data. This
assistance has also included the development of guidebooks that helped
states implement the NRS requirements and provided additional
instruction on conducting follow-up surveys and other data quality
issues. Over the last three years, OVAE has also made training resources
available online. To monitor improvements in data quality, OVAE has
continued to use state NRS data quality standards, which identify the
policies, processes and materials that states and local programs should
have in place to collect valid and reliable data. The standards define
quality data policies and procedures and also provide guidance to states
on how to improve their systems.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc89853772 .anchor}Federal Assistance in PY 2002

In PY 2002, OVAE promoted improvement in the quality and use of state
NRS data through resources and providing state training. The NRS project
provided training on improving NRS data quality and produced the *Guide
for Improving NRS Data Quality: Procedures for Data Collection and
Training.* Regional training, based on the *Guide*, was held early in PY
2002. Web-based training courses were made available through the
project's Web site at http://www.nrsweb.org/*,* and the trainings around
data quality and, more recently, data use continue to be expanded and
updated.

Later in PY 2002, the NRS project held a second set of regional training
institutes on *Using NRS Data for Program Management and Improvement*,
based on a second guidebook with the same title. More than 120 people
from over 45 states attended each training. Web-based courses for this
guide were developed following the training.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc89853773 .anchor}NRS Implementation by States

States continue to reallocate resources to develop and improve data
collection and reporting systems. For example, states have reported:

-   Developing new policies around follow-up and assessment.

-   Improving their data systems to make it easier for local programs to
    review and use their data to improve their services.

-   Training teachers to examine their class data to inform changes in
    instructional delivery.

States also report becoming more skilled at using data to monitor local
performance, using the data in meaningful ways, and are training local
program staff on methods of data collection and validation. States and
local programs now have the ability to make data-driven decisions to
help them design more effective programs to meet students' needs. States
and even local programs now have access to data that include
characteristics of students, program features, teacher characteristics,
student attendance, and student outcomes that they can use to
demonstrate the value and effects of adult education instruction. For
example, states and local programs can use NRS data to gain insight on
the effects of class size, instructional hours, staffing patterns, and
student characteristics on performance and other aspects of program
operation. In addition, assessment systems are improving with more
consistent and widespread use of standardized, psychometrically sound
assessments.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc89853774 .anchor}Summary of National Performance
Results

Program Year 2002--2003 marked the third year of the implementation of
the NRS accountability requirements. Below is a summary chart providing
a comparison of actual performance on each of the core measures for
adult education for the first three years under the NRS. All measures
showed improvement over the three years, ranging from 6 to 33 percent
gains. For the two educational gain measures, there was a steady, modest
increase (a 6 to 13 percent increase), while high school completion
showed a 33 percent improvement. Postsecondary transition improved by 20
percent over the three years, and employment entrance and retention
improved by 19 and 11 percent, respectively. From 2000--2001 to
2002--2003, program participation grew by 2 percent, while the program
simultaneously demonstrated a 2 percent increase in the number of
students attaining one or more outcome.

-   Over three program years, 547,590 earned a high school diploma or
    GED

Exhibit 3 shows the percent and number of enrolled adults who had a goal
of high school completion and obtained a diploma or passed the GED
tests. The percent of students achieving this goal continued to increase
to 44 percent in PY 2002--2003, a 33 percent increase over the baseline.
However, the number of students having and attaining this goal has
declined by almost 20 percent since PY 2000--01. This difference is, in
part, a result of the publication of a revised version of the GED test
in PY 2001 to replace the one that had been in use for over twenty
years. A large number of adults enrolled in PY 2000--2001 to prepare to
complete the GED prior to the publication of the new test.
