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 program 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.

In program year (PY) 2003--2004, the program enrolled 2,677,119
learners, of which just under 40 percent (39.7) were enrolled in Adult
Basic Education, 16.5 percent were enrolled in Adult Secondary
Education, and 43.8 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 past years under
the NRS. The data show modest increases

(1--3 percentage points over three years) in all areas except the two
employment measures.

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. These data are 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)
2003--2004 (or Fiscal Year 2003) was \$561,042,109. 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 2003--2004. 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 competence in
    English.

In PY 2003--2004, the program enrolled 2,677,119 learners, of which just
under 40 percent (39.7) were enrolled in Adult Basic Education, 16.5
percent were enrolled in Adult Secondary Education, and 43.8 percent
were enrolled in English Literacy programs, as shown in Table 1, below.

As shown in Table 2, in PY 2003--2004, most participants (70 percent)
were between the ages of 19 and 44, but the age distribution varied
across instructional area. For example, participants in Adult Secondary
Education tended to be younger: 66 percent were between the ages of 16
and 24. Participants in English Literacy, on the other hand, tended to
be older: 57 percent were between the ages 25 and 44, and an additional
20 percent were 45 years of age or older.

The participation of 16 to 18 year olds in adult education is of
particular interest to policy‑makers because earning a high school
diploma through the regular elementary and secondary education system is
the preferred outcome for these youth. In PY 2003--2004, as in the
previous three program years, 14 percent of program participants were
between the ages of 16 and 18. As shown in Table 3, a plurality of these
youth were white (43 percent). Another 30 percent were Hispanic, while
23 percent were African‑American. In contrast, Hispanics comprised a
plurality in most of the other age cohorts: 41 percent of 19 to 24 year
olds, 50 percent of 25 to 44 year olds, and 40 percent of 45 to 59 year
olds.

The extent to which 16 to 18 year olds participate in adult education
varies widely across states. Table 4 shows the number of 16 to 18 year
olds who enrolled in adult education in each state in each of the last
three program years, and the percentage of total participants this
number represents.

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 and 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___Toc132189292 .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 is deemed 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 2003--2004, forty‑three states exceeded their adult
education performance levels. Nineteen of those states also exceeded WIA
Title I and Perkins performance levels and qualified to receive a share
of the \$16.6 million available for incentive awards for PY 2003--2004.
The nineteen states were: Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa,
Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North
Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South
Dakota, and Tennessee. In PY 2003--2004, AEFLA funds for the incentive
grants were \$10,152,002, Perkins funds were \$6,453,041, and WIA (Title
I) were \$0.

Table 5 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 2003--2004. 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. Thirty‑nine states met or exceeded the average
performance targets negotiated for the English literacy (English
language acquisition) sub‑measures for educational gain, while thirteen
states did not meet their targets. Forty states met or exceeded their
targets for the high school completion measure, and forty‑three states
met or exceeded their performance targets for transitioning into
postsecondary education or training. Forty states met or exceeded their
performance targets for the employment measure, and forty‑one states met
or exceeded their job retention targets.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc132189293 .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 (47 percent) fall within the
intermediate level, while for English literacy the majority (50 percent)
are within the beginning level. Secondary (ASE) or advanced (EL) levels
comprise 29 and 16 percent, respectively.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc132189294 .anchor}Collecting Follow‑up Measures

The four follow‑up outcome measures need be collected only for students
who identified the outcomes as a goal for attending and who left the
program within this reporting period, July 1, 2003, through June 30,
2004. 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 2003--2004, 38 states used
administrative records to determine student outcomes for high school
completion and 4 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; there are data privacy issues or technical problems in some
states. Twenty eight states used this method solely (compared to 22
states in PY 2001), and an additional 6 states used 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
8 identifies how states currently collect data for the four follow‑up
measures.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc132189295 .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 four 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___Toc132189296 .anchor}Federal Assistance in PY
2003--04

In PY 2003--2004, OVAE continued to promote improvement in the quality
and use of state NRS data through resources and state training. For
example, in the spring of 2004, the NRS held regional trainings entitled
*Data Monitoring for Program Improvement*. Topics covered during these
three‑day meetings included "Shared Accountability with Appropriate
Rewards and Sanctions" and the development of state action plans. These
sessions built on the foundation established by the NRS national
institute held the previous summer (July, 2003) entitled *Using NRS Data
for Program Management and Improvement*, based on a second guidebook
with the same title.

In addition to in‑person workshops and hands‑on experiences, the NRS
added, updated, and expanded the Web‑based training courses. The NRS has
two Web sites to provide continuous and ongoing training resources for
the field.

-   ***NRSWeb*** ([www.nrsweb.org](http://www.nrsweb.org/))---provides
    an overview of the NRS; training materials; guidelines for data
    quality, use, collection, and reporting; and other publications and
    links.

-   ***NRSOnline***
    ([www.nrsonline.org](http://www.nrsonline.org/))---offers
    interactive trainings, a learner self‑assessment, and information
    about the implementation of NRS to adult education teachers,
    administrators, and others interested in adult education.

The NRS project has also helped states meet the requirement to have
individual student record systems in a relational database to report and
use NRS data for program improvement. Through the NRS, 13 states
received training and resources on developing and improving their
management information systems to meet these requirements. For example,
a small group of states sent data personnel to attend a training session
in Washington, DC, held in the fall of 2003. An NRS team member who is
an MIS expert worked with each state to develop plans to build a
student‑level data system. The NRS staff has also provided individual
technical assistance to dozens of states on meeting NRS requirements,
improving data quality, and using data. States have also received
assistance on monitoring local programs and setting local performance
standards.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc132189297 .anchor}NRS Implementation by States

States continue to focus on ways to improve and use data for overall
program management. For example, states have reported:

-   Setting performance standards that include a system of sanctions and
    rewards and shifting toward performance‑based funding.

-   Strengthening processes for monitoring and evaluation to include
    more desk monitoring with data and indicators of program quality.

-   Continually training staff on the use of data for decision making
    related to program improvement, including professional development
    and changes in the delivery of services, assessments, and
    instruction throughout the state. For example, states are initiating
    systemic reforms by adopting standards‑based education, and many are
    "mining their data" to guide reform efforts.

As data systems have become more stable, many states can rely on
real‑time data to set performance standards, monitor local performance,
and implement performance‑based funding. Stable data are being used more
meaningfully by administrators, teachers, and support staff to make
decisions that help them design more effective programs to meet
students' needs. Training conducted during the second phase of NRS has
prepared local staff in many states to access and use their data on a
regular basis. Staff can now use data as part of their research to
identify effective practices for classroom instruction, professional
development and goal‑setting and to determine which support mechanisms
will help learners persist long enough to reach their education,
training, and employment goals. As staff get more directly involved in
using data, they begin to trust the data and participate more
effectively in the program improvement process.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc132189298 .anchor}Summary of National Performance
Results

Program Year 2003--2004 marked the fourth 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 four years under the NRS. Most measures showed
improvement over the four years. For the two educational gain measures
and transition to postsecondary, there was a steady, modest increase,
while high school completion showed the greatest overall improvement.
Employment entrance and retention also showed trends of improvement with
spikes in 2001--02 and 2002--03, respectively.\

-   Over three program years, 1,542,907 adults advanced one or more
    educational levels

Exhibit B shows that 38 percent of students enrolled in ABE and low ASE
in PY 2003--2004 advanced at least one educational level, consistent
with the previous program year. This is a modest 2 percentage point
increase over the baseline year of 2000--01.

Exhibit C

Educational Gain---English Language Acquisition

Percent of enrolled adults who acquired the level of English language
skills needed to complete at least one educational
level.![](media/image10.wmf){width="2.863888888888889in"

height="2.1222222222222222in"}

-   Over three program years, 1,239,910 adults advanced one or more
    education levels

Exhibit C shows the percentage and number of learners enrolled in the
six EL levels that advanced one or more educational levels in PY
2003--2004, compared to PY 2001--2002 and PY 2002--2003. The number of
learners advancing at least one level increased from about 403,000 in PY
2001--2002 to a high of nearly 420,000 (418,732) students in PY
2003--2004.

Exhibit D

High School Completion

Percent of enrolled adults with a high school completion goal who earned
a high school diploma or
GED.![](media/image12.wmf){width="3.0340277777777778in"

height="1.9993055555555554in"}

-   Over three program years, 509,836 adults earned a high school
    diploma or GED

Exhibit D 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 45 percent in PY 2003--2004, a 36 percent increase over the baseline
(33 percent in 2000--01). However, the number of students having and
attaining this goal has declined by almost 20 percent since the baseline
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.

Exhibit E

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.

height="2.01875in"}

-   Over three program years, 140,192 adults enrolled in postsecondary
    education or training

Exhibit E shows that, among adults who entered with a goal of transition
to postsecondary education or training, 30 percent, or approaching
50,000 students (45,264), entered a postsecondary institution after
exiting the program in PY 2003--2004. This is an increase from the 25
percent and 29 percent of adults in 2000--01 and 2001--02, respectively,
who entered postsecondary education.

Exhibit F

Entered Employment

Percent of enrolled adults with an employment goal who were employed one
quarter after exit.![](media/image16.wmf){width="3.0340277777777778in"

height="1.9736111111111112in"}

-   Over three program years, 408,768 adults were employed one quarter
    after program exit

Exhibit F shows that the number and percent of enrolled adults who had a
goal of obtaining employment and were employed one quarter after exiting
the program decreased to about 116,000 students and 36 percent. Much of
this decrease may be attributable to the fact that the number of
students who had employment as a goal decreased by more than 30,000 over
that same year.

Exhibit G

Job Retention![](media/image18.wmf){width="2.9493055555555556in"

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

-   Over three program years, 519,526 adults retained employment three
    quarters after leaving the program

Exhibit G shows that in PY 2003--2004, 63 percent of participants, or
over 150,000 participants, retained a job three quarters after program
exit, which was consistent with the 63 percent of students who retained
employment in PY 2001--2002.

The following pages present national student and program data from the
NRS. Following these pages are data tables for each of the 50 states,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The state tables 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
2003. 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 PY 2003--2004 performance is compared to its PY 2001--2002 and
PY 2002--2003 performance on each measure.
