Semi-Annual Participant Report Form for Reporting Period XXXX-XX

[IDENTIFYING INFORMATION FROM GRANTEE]

Introduction

The Indian Education Professional Development (IE PD) Grants program provides grants to prepare and train Indians to serve as teachers and school administrators. Individuals trained under this program must perform work that is related to their training and that benefits Indian people or repay all or a portion of the cash value of training costs.

In 1993 the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) was passed that requires federally funded agencies to develop and implement an accountability system based on performance measurement. Grantees are required to report on their progress toward meeting the performance measures established for each U.S. Department of Education (ED) grant program. The Office of Indian Education (OIE) has designated this Semi-Annual Participant Report (SAPR) as the tool for obtaining participant information from grantees needed for GPRA reporting and determining participant compliance with service payback requirements.

There are six GPRA performance measures for IE PD grantees:

Measure 1 of 6: The percentage of participants in administrator preparation projects who become principals, vice principals, or school administrators in local educational agencies (LEAs) that enroll 5 percent or more American Indian and Alaska Native students.

Measure 2 of 6: The percentage of participants in teacher preparation projects who become teachers in LEAs that enroll 5 percent or more American Indian and Alaska Native students.

Measure 3 of 6: The percentage of program participants who meet the definition of “Highly Qualified” in section 9101(23) of the ESEA.

Measure 4 of 6: The percentage of program participants who complete their service requirement on schedule.

Measure 5 of 6: The cost per individual who successfully completes an administrator preparation program, takes a position in a school district with at least 5 percent American Indian/Alaska Native enrollment, and completes the service requirement in such a district.

Measure 6 of 6: The cost per individual who successfully completes a teacher preparation program, takes a position in a school district with at least 5 percent American Indian/Alaska Native enrollment, and completes the service requirement in such a district.

OIE maintains responsibility for reporting all data on GPRA measures and determining whether participants fulfill their service or cash payback requirements. However, to do so, OIE requires participant information from IE PD grantees.

In the SAPR, grantees will provide identifying contact and project service information on all IE PD participants. At the first SAPR submission, grantees will provide information on all IE PD participants ever enrolled in the project since the start of the grant. For subsequent SAPR submissions, grantees will update information on participants from the previous submission and add entries for new participants. In addition, grantees will use the SAPR to report budget information, and project-specific objectives and performance measurement data. Grantees are required to submit the SAPR to OIE at the close of the 2^nd and 4^th project quarters, according to OIE reporting dates.

The authorized representative is the person who signed the grant application or has been officially designated to sign this performance report. OIE should receive documentation indicating who the authorized representatives are and whether changes have occurred since signing of the grant application.

Instructions for Section A – Participant Information

Participant information is collected on four pages. Page 1 collects data on individual participants (contact information, etc.), while page 2 collects data on an alternate contact for each participant. Page 3 collects data on each participant’s project training completion status, and page 4 collects information on each participant’s post-project placement and position (i.e., employment), if known. All information must be current as of the SAPR due date.

Participant information should be updated and submitted to the program office at the close of the grantee’s 2^nd and 4^th project quarters, according to OIE reporting dates. The SAPR should contain a running tally of participants.

• For the first SAPR submission, grantees must provide the data for all participants ever enrolled in the project since the beginning of the grant. This includes:

  • participants who are currently enrolled;

  • participants who were enrolled but are currently on a leave of absence;

  • participants who were enrolled but successfully completed the project training; and

  • participants who dropped out of the project.

• For subsequent SAPR submissions, the grantee should:

  • Update information on participants included in the last submission. Please delete outdated information for a participant and replace with updated information including any leaves of absence or other project exits. The SAPR form includes a checkbox to indicate if there are no updates (the final column of each table allows you the chance to check off “no changes necessary”).

  • Add entries for participants who enrolled in project training since the last submission of the SAPR, regardless of whether the new enrollees are still currently in the program, have successfully completed the program, are currently on a leave of absence, or have dropped out of the project.

Never delete a participant from the SAPR, even after a participant exits the project. Grantees are not expected to follow up with any participant after the participant exits the project. Thus, for each submission to ED, the SAPR always contains data on all project participants since the beginning of the grant, even though some participants may have exited project services.

The following provides specific instructions to complete each page of Section A:

Section A, Page 1 collects data on individual participants in each grantee’s project as of the SAPR due date. As shown in Exhibit A (below), 13 variables are collected on page 1. These are:

1. Social Security Number (SSN): this cell requests each participant’s SSN. SSN is needed because it is a unique identifier for participants, will facilitate tracking of participant data, and will be important for locating a participant if the IE PD program office loses contact with the participant before his or her service payback requirement is completed.

2. Last name: this cell requests each participant’s last name, as noted on the participant application forms and registration/course documents. It is important to note that a participant’s name might change over time; this field should be updated as necessary.

3. First name: this cell requests each participant’s first name, as noted on the participant application forms and registration/course documents.

4. Address: this cell requests each participant’s street address of residence or mail receipt, as noted on the participant’s most recent registration/course documents. Complete address information also can be retrieved by asking the participant for this information.

Enter the date of birth (DOB) as the 2 digit month, the 2 digit day, and the 4 digit year. For example, a date of birth of January 30, 1970 would be entered as 01-30-1970. Once this value is entered, it should never change over the course of the participant’s enrollment.

9. Home phone: this cell requests each participant’s home telephone number, as noted on the participant’s most recent registration/course documents. If the telephone number is not collected on registration documents, ask the participant for this information directly.

10. Cell phone: this cell requests each participant’s cellular telephone number (if available), as noted on the participant’s most recent registration/course documents. If the cell phone number is not collected on registration documents, ask the participant for this information directly. If a cell phone number is not available, enter N/A in this cell.

11. Email: this cell requests each participant’s email address (if available), as noted on the school records and/or registration/course documents. This information also can be retrieved by asking the participant for this information. If an email address is not available, enter N/A in this cell.

12. Maiden Name, if applicable: this cell requests a participant’s maiden name, in the event that the participant is using or has used a maiden name to complete application and registration forms and then changes surname while in project services or decides to use maiden name along with another last name (for example, a spouse’s surname). If a maiden name is not applicable, enter N/A into this cell. If a participant’s surname changes over the course of project services, enter the “old” name into this cell while updating the cell for last name.

13. No changes necessary: this cell only should be checked off if there were no additions or updates to a participant’s information. This cell should be left unchecked the first time data are entered for a participant.

Grantees should initially complete page 1 for each participant enrolling in the PD project. This information should be updated at the close of the 2^nd and 4^th project quarters to meet OIE reporting dates, until the participant completes or exits the program.

Note: If a participant drops out of the project, but later re-enrolls, add another entry (i.e., a new row) for the participant that reflects information about the second enrollment including its start date, nature of training, completion status, and degree and certification information. Be sure to include the participant’s SSN for the new entry.

Section A, Page 4 collects data on each participant’s post-project placement status, if known, and each participant’s total months in training and total training costs for service payback, and expected date of service payback completion. These data should only be entered for participants who have exited project training. If a participant’s post-project placement includes employment at more than one school at the same time, enter the placement name, city, and state as well as employment status for each position on separate rows. Be sure to enter the SSN for each row associated with a participant.

Before completing any cells for a participant, complete the header field that reads “participant status as of (DATE)”, where date is the SAPR due date. As shown in Exhibit D (below), 10 variables are collected on page 4. These are:

1. SSN: this cell requests the participant’s SSN, first entered in Section A, Page 1. This ensures that data for each participant can be tracked over the four pages of the data collection form.

2. Placement: this cell requests placement data, if known, for each participant who exits project training. Placement data refers to the name of the school each individual participant receives a position in after exiting project training.

• If this information is not known for a participant who exits project training, enter “unknown.”

• If a participant is currently enrolled or taking a leave of absence, leave this cell blank.

3. Placement city: this cell requests the city of the school each individual participant receives a position in after exiting project training, if known.

• If this information is not known for a participant who exits project training, enter “unknown.”

• If a participant is currently enrolled or taking a leave of absence, leave this cell blank.

4. Placement state: this cell requests the state of the school each individual participant receives a position in after exiting project training, if known.

• If a participant is currently enrolled or taking a leave of absence, leave this cell blank.

6. Full- or part-time employment status: this cell requests whether the participant’s position is a full- or part-time position, if known.

7. Total months in training: this cell requests the total months of project training valid for accruing service or cash payback (i.e., total months enrolled and receiving training) in the project for each participant who exits the project, regardless of successful or non-successful completion of project training. One month of training accrues when a participant attends 2 or more weeks of training in a calendar month.

• If a participant is currently enrolled or taking a leave of absence, leave this cell blank.

8. Total training costs: this cell requests the total training costs incurred for each participant who exits the project regardless of successful or non-successful completion of project training. Total training costs are the total dollar amount the participant received in tuition, fees, books, childcare, and other expenses.

• If a participant is currently enrolled or taking a leave of absence, leave this cell blank.

9. Expected date of service payback completion: this cell requires the grantee to calculate each participant’s expected date of service payback completion. Service payback is calculated through approved part-time and full-time employment and is calculated as time for time. For example, if a participant received 2 years of training they could offer either 2 years of approved full-time employment or 4 years with approved part-time employment to fulfill their service payback obligation.

10. No changes necessary: this cell only should be checked off if there were no additions or updates to a participant’s information. This cell should be left unchecked the first time data are entered for a participant.

Grantees should complete page 4 for each participant at or about the time that the participant exits the project. This information should be submitted to OIE at the close of the 2^nd and 4^th quarters of the project year to meet OIE reporting dates.

Instructions for Section B – Professional Development Project Goals and Objectives

In the approved grant application, grantees establish project objectives stating what they expect to achieve with the funded grant project. Generally, one or more performance measures are established for each project objective designed to demonstrate whether a project met or made progress toward meeting project objectives.

According to the instructions below, for each project objective included in the approved grant application, grantees are to provide quantitative and/or qualitative data for each associated performance measure and a description of preliminary findings or outcomes that demonstrate that they have met or are making progress towards meeting the performance measure. An explanation must also accompany the data on the performance measures.

Project Objective:

Enter each project objective that is included in the approved grant application. Only one project objective should be entered per row. Project objectives should be numbered sequentially, i.e., 1., 2., 3., etc.

Grantees are expected to report on individual or other project measures and progress in achieving project objectives.

Performance Measure:

For each project objective, enter each associated performance measure. Multiple performance measures may be associated with each project objective. Enter only one performance measure per row. Each performance measure that is associated with a particular project objective should be labeled using an alpha indicator. Example: The first performance measure associated with project objective “1” should be labeled “1.a.,” the second performance measure for project objective “1” should be labeled “1.b.,” etc.

Quantitative Data:

Target and Actual Performance Data

Grantees must provide the targets established for meeting each performance measure and provide actual performance data demonstrating progress toward meeting or exceeding this target. Only quantitative (numeric) data should be entered in the Target and Actual Performance Data boxes.

The Target and Actual Performance Data boxes are each divided into three columns: Raw Number, Ratio, and Percentage (%).

For performance measures that are stated in terms of a single number (e.g., the number of participants), the target and actual performance data should be reported as a single number under the Raw Number column (e.g., 10 workshops or 20 teachers). Please leave the Ratio and Percentage (%) columns blank. For performance measures that are stated in terms of a percentage (e.g., percentage of teachers participating), complete both the Ratio column and the Percentage (%) column. Please leave the Raw Number column blank.

In the Ratio column (e.g., 30/40), the numerator represents the numerical target (e.g., the number of teachers intended for outreach) or actual performance data (e.g., the number of teachers who participated), and the denominator represents the number of teachers funded to be served under each objective. Please enter the corresponding percentage (e.g., 75%) in the Percentage (%) column.

If the collection of quantitative data is not appropriate for a particular performance measure, please leave the Target and Actual Performance Data boxes blank and provide an explanation and any relevant qualitative data for the performance measure in the section entitled, Explanation of Progress.

Instructions for Section C – Professional Development Project Budget Information

• Report budget expenditure data in items 8a. – 8c. of the Cover Sheet, as applicable. Please follow the instructions for completing items 8a. – 8c. included in this instruction sheet.

• Describe any anticipated changes in the budget for the next budget period that require prior approval from ED.

Instructions for Section D – Additional Information

• If applicable, please provide a list of current partners on the grant and indicate if any partners changed during the reporting period. The grantee needs to anticipate any change in partners during the next budget period. If you are submitting a 2^nd quarter SAPR, the next budget period is the 3^rd quarter of the project year. If you are submitting a 4^th quarter SAPR, the next budget period id the 1^st quarter of the following project year. If any of the partners changed during the reporting period, the grantee must describe whether this affected the ability to achieve approved project objectives and/or project activities.

• If instructed by the program office, grantees must report on any statutory reporting requirements for this grant program.

• Describe any changes that the grantee wishes to make in the grant’s activities for the next budget period that are consistent with the scope and objectives of the approved application.
