EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
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).

INTRODUCTION
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;

vi
• 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.

4
• 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.

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.

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.

7
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.

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

9
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.

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.

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 “The professional development
workshops designed and
delivered by NRS staff were
invaluable to us as we helped
local adult educators develop
11 the skills they needed to use
the data collection/reporting
system as a tool for improving
the overall adult education
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.

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

“Would [improvements] have the data in meaningful ways, and are training local program
occurred without the NRS? I am staff on methods of data collection and validation. States and
convinced that they would not
have. Without the NRS, we local programs now have the ability to make data-driven
would never have known the
true statement of what was decisions to help them design more effective programs to
happening in adult meet students’ needs. States and even local programs now
education…”
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.

SUMMARY OF NATIONAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS

12
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.

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
