Instructions for Completing Table 5

* Report in Column B the number of participants who were unemployed at entry and in the labor force who exited during the program year. Do not exclude students because of missing Social Security numbers or other missing data.

** Report in Column B: (1) the number of participants who were unemployed at entry and in the labor force who exited during the program year and who entered employment by the end of the first quarter after program exit and (2) the number of participants employed at entry who had a main or secondary goal of improved or retained employment who exited during the program year.

*** Report in Column B the number of participants who (1) took all GED tests, or (2) were enrolled in adult high school at the high ASE level or (3) were enrolled in the assessment phase of the EDP, who exited during the program year.

**** Report in Column B the number of participants who (1) have earned a GED or high school diploma, or (2) have a secondary credential at entry, or (3) are enrolled in a class specifically designed for transitioning to community college, and who exited during the program year.

If survey is used, then the number in Column C should equal the number in Column B unless random sampling was used. If one or more local programs used random sampling, then enter in Column C the total number of students included in the survey. If data matching is used, then Column C should be left blank.

If survey is used, then the number in Column D should be less than Column C, unless there was a 100-percent response rate to the survey. If data matching is used, then the number reported in Column D should be the total number of records available for the data match. That number is normally less than the number in Column B. (If the numbers in these two columns are equal, then it means that all Social Security numbers are valid and that there are no missing Social Security numbers.)

Column E , unless one or more programs used random sampling. If random sampling was used, see Appendix C of the NRS Survey Guidelines for further instructions on reporting.

In Column F, the number should be equal to or less than the number in Column D.

Column G is the number in Column F divided by the number in Column D. Column G should never be greater than 100 percent. If the response rate is less than 50 percent (Column E), then the percent reported in Column G is not considered valid.

For reporting completion of Educational Functioning Level:

* Report in Column B for this row all family literacy program participants who received 12 or more hours of service. Column F should include all participants reported in Column B who advanced one or more levels.

Compute Column G for this row using the following formula:

For reporting Followup Measures:

Follow instructions for completing Table 5 to report these outcomes. However, include only family literacy program participants in Table 8.

Achievement of one or more of the increased involvement in children’s education or children’s literacy activities measures should be counted only once per participant. However, the specific outcome should be recorded in the subcategory and more than one outcome may be reported, so that the total for the three subcategories may be greater than the total reported for the overall category. For example, a participant who helped more frequently with schoolwork and increased contact with child’s teachers would be recorded in both categories but would be counted only once in the overall category of “increased involvement in children’s education.”
