Instructions for Completing Table 4

  • Use participant’s pretest score for the 1st entry of a program year for initial placement in this table.

  • For the purposes of reporting measurable skill gain on Tables 4, 4C, 8, and 10, each program entry per participant during the reporting period is considered a period of participation.

  • Count each participant only once in columns E through H. Total number of participants in column B should equal corresponding total number of participants in other NRS tables. Report the most recent measurable skill gain for a participant who achieved more than one measurable skill gain during a period of participation.

  • The number in Column C is the number of participants who are being excluded from MSG performance due to the exclusion scenarios listed in OCTAE Program Memorandum 17-2 Attachment 2, Table A. No values associated with these participants should be entered into columns E-G.

  • The number in column E is the number of participants who completed one or more Educational Functioning Level (EFL) gains as measured in one of three ways: 1) by comparing a participant’s initial EFL as measured by a pre-test with the participant’s EFL as measured by a participant’s post-test; or 2) for States that offer high school programs that lead to a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent, an EFL gain may be measured through the awarding of credits or Carnegie units; or 3) States may report an EFL gain for participants who exit the program and enroll in postsecondary education or training during the program year.

  • Column F is the number of participants who attained a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent.

  • Enter only the most recent achievement, if attained, per participant in column E or column F. No participant should have an achievement counted in both columns.

  • Column G is the number of participants who achieved no measurable skill gain and exited the program. The last day of service cannot be determined until at least 90 days have elapsed since the participant last received services (services do not include self-service, information-only services or activities, or follow-up services), and there are no plans to provide the participant with future services.

  • Column H is number of participants who remain enrolled and achieved no measurable skill gain.

  • Column B should equal Column C + E + F + G + H.

  • Column I is calculated using the following formula: (Column I) = (Column E + Column F)

(Column B – Column C)

  • Column J is the total number of periods of participation for each participant. A participant may have more than one period of participation.

  • Column K is the Total number of Periods of Participation in which at least one educational functioning level gain was achieved. Multiple outcomes are permissible for individual participants with more than one period of participation. Although participants may achieve more than one gain per period of participation, only one gain for a participant per period of participation is reported in EITHER column K or column L.

  • Column L is the Total number of Periods of Participation in which a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent was attained. Multiple outcomes are permissible for individual participants with more than one period of participation. Although participants may achieve more than one gain per period of participation, only one gain for a participant per period of participation is reported in EITHER column K or column L.

  • Column M is calculated using the following formula: (Column M) = (Column K + Column L)

(Column J)

  • Period of Participation: For the Measurable Skill Gains indicator, a new period of participation is counted each time a participant enrolls—even if both enrollments occur within the same program year. It is not necessary to wait until the participant exits the program in order to count a measurable skill gain, because the measurable skill gains indicator is not an exit-based indicator. The skill gain may be counted as soon as it is earned at any point during the participation period of the program year in which it was earned. A person with more than one period of participation in a program year is counted separately for each period of participation in both the numerator and denominator of each applicable performance indicator. Therefore, the person is counted multiple times— once for each period of participation. Please see OCTAE program memorandum 17-2 for examples of counting periods of participation.

Instructions for Completing Table 4C

Include in this table only participants who are counted as distance education participants . This table is a subset of the participants reported in Table 4.

  • Participant data for all periods of participation are included on this table if the participant met the State’s definition of a distance education participant during the program year.

  • Use participant’s pretest score for initial placement in this table.

  • For the purposes of reporting measurable skill gain on Tables 4, 4C, 8, and 10, each program entry per participant during the reporting period is considered a period of participation.

  • Count each participant only once in columns D through G.

  • The number in column D is the number of participants who completed one or more EFL gains as measured in one of three ways: 1) by comparing a participant’s initial EFL as measured by a pre-test with the participant’s EFL as measured by a participant’s post-test; or 2) for States that offer high school programs that lead to a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent, an EFL gain may be measured through the awarding of credits or Carnegie units: or 3) States may report an EFL gain for participants who exit the program and enroll in postsecondary education or training during the program year.

  • Column E is the number of participants who attained a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent.

  • Enter only the most recent achievement, if attained, per participant in column D or column E.

  • Column F is the number of participants who achieved no measurable skill gain and exited the program. The last day of service cannot be determined until at least 90 days have elapsed since the participant last received services (services do not include self-service, information-only services or activities, or follow-up services), and there are no plans to provide the participant with future services.

  • Column G is number of participants who remain enrolled and achieved no measurable skill gain.

  • Column D + E + F + G should equal the total in Column B.

  • Column H is calculated using the following formula: (Column H) = (Column D + Column E)

(Column B)

  • Column I is the total number of periods of participation for each participant. A participant may have more than one period of participation.

  • Column J is the number of periods of participation in which a measurable skill gain is achieved. Multiple outcomes are permissible for individual participants with more than one period of participation. Participants may achieve more than one gain per period of participation. However, only one gain for a participant per period of participation is reported in column J.

  • Column K is calculated using the following formula: (Column H) = (Column J)

(Column I)

  • Period of Participation: For the Measurable Skill Gains indicator, a new period of participation is counted each time a participant enrolls—even if both enrollments occur within the same program year. It is not necessary to wait until the participant exits the program in order to count a measurable skill gain, because the measurable skill gains indicator is not an exit-based indicator. The skill gain may be counted as soon as it is earned at any point during the participation period of the program year in which it was earned. A person with more than one period of participation in a program year is counted separately for each period of participation in both the numerator and denominator of each applicable performance indicator. Therefore, the person is counted multiple times— once for each period of participation. Please see OCTAE program memorandum 17-2 for examples of counting periods of participation.

Instructions for Completing Table 5



Note: All shaded columns will be calculated automatically by OCTAE’s data system.

For the purposes of reporting on Employment 2nd Quarter, Employment 4th Quarter, Median Earnings, and the Credential Attainment indicators on Tables 5, 5A, 8, 9, 10, and 11 each program entry and exit per participant during the reporting period is considered a period of participation.

Do not exclude participants because of missing Social Security numbers or other missing data.

Exit: The exit date is the last date of service. The last day of service cannot be determined until at least 90 days have elapsed since the participant last received services. Services do not include self-service, information-only services or activities, or follow-up services. This also requires that there are no plans to provide the participant with future services.

Period of Participation: For all indicators, except measurable skill gains, a period of participation refers to the period of time beginning when an individual becomes a participant and ending on the participant’s date of exit from the program. States must count each participant’s exit during the same program year as a separate period of participation for purposes of calculating levels of performance. For all indicators, except the measurable skill gains indicator, a new period of participation is counted each time a participant re-enters and exits the program—even if both exits occur during the same program year. A person with more than one period of participation in a program year is counted separately for each period of participation in both the numerator and denominator of each applicable performance indicator. Therefore, the person is counted multiple times— once for each period of participation. Please see OCTAE program memorandum 17-2 for examples of counting periods of participation.

* Report in Column B (second and fourth quarter employment) the total number of participants who exited during the program year, excluding participants who exited due to the exclusions listed in OCTAE Memorandum 17-2 Attachment 2: Table A or incarcerated individuals under section 225 of WIOA who exited the AEFLA program but are still incarcerated.

** Report in Column B (Median Earnings) the total number of participants who exited during the program year and who were employed in the second quarter after program exit, excluding participants who exited due to the exclusions listed in OCTAE Program Memorandum 17-2 Attachment 2: Table A or incarcerated individuals under section 225 who exited the AEFLA program but are still incarcerated.

*** Report in Column B (secondary school credential attainment) the total number of participants without a secondary school credential or recognized equivalent who exited during the program year who entered at, or advanced into, a secondary school level program (9th grade equivalent or higher), excluding participants who exited due to the exclusions listed in OCTAE Program Memorandum 17-2 Attachment 2: Table A or incarcerated individuals under section 225 who exited the AEFLA program but remain incarcerated. Participants may potentially be reported in both secondary school credential rows and the postsecondary credential row. For participants included in the secondary school credential denominator who do not achieve a qualifying secondary school credential or recognized equivalent, choose only one row to report for Column B. For participants who achieved a secondary school credential or a recognized equivalent, enrolled in postsecondary education or training, and were employed within one year of exit, Column B and Column C would be reported for BOTH secondary school credential rows.

**** Report in Column B (postsecondary credential attainment) the total number of participants who during the program year were also enrolled in a postsecondary education or training program leading to a recognized postsecondary credential and exited that postsecondary training program, excluding participants who exited due to the exclusions listed in OCTAE Program Memorandum 17-2 Attachment 2: Table A or incarcerated individuals under section 225 who exited the AEFLA program but are still incarcerated. Participants may potentially be reported in both secondary school credential rows and the postsecondary credential row.

***** Report in Column B (Attained any credential (unduplicated)) the unduplicated total number of participants who EITHER: (1) did not possess a secondary school credential or recognized equivalent and exited during the program year who entered at, or advanced into, a secondary school level program (9th grade equivalent or higher) OR (2) were co-enrolled in a postsecondary education or training program leading to a recognized postsecondary credential and exited that postsecondary training program; excluding participants who exited due to the exclusions listed in OCTAE Program Memorandum 17-2 Attachment 2: Table A or incarcerated individuals under section 225 who exited the AEFLA program but remain incarcerated. Participants who meet the requirements for inclusion in both the secondary and postsecondary credential cohorts would only be recorded once in Column B.

Column C (except for Median Earnings) is the number of participants that achieved each outcome. For Median Earnings reporting, Column C is the median earnings value which is the midpoint between lowest and highest quarterly wage, in U.S. dollars, for the total number of participants who exited during the program year and who were employed in the second quarter after program exit, excluding participants who exited due to the exclusions listed in OCTAE Program Memorandum 17-2 Attachment 2: Table A or incarcerated individuals under section 225 who exited the AEFLA program but are still incarcerated. Participants who earn both a secondary and postsecondary credential would only be recorded once in Column C.

Column C, for median earnings, is the quarterly wage value for participants employed in the 2nd quarter after exit.

Column D (except for Median Earnings) is the number in Column C divided by the number in Column B. Column D should never be greater than 100 percent.

Column E is the total number of periods of participation for each participant reported in column B. This number will be greater than or equal to the number of participants in Column B.

Column F (except for Median Earnings) is the number of periods of participation in which the outcome was achieved.

. For Median Earnings reporting, Column F is the median earnings value which is the midpoint between lowest and highest quarterly wage, in U.S. dollars, for the total number of periods of participation, excluding incarcerated individuals under section 225 who exited the AEFLA program but are still incarcerated.

Column F, for Median Earnings, is the median value for quarterly wage values from all PoPs reported for participants employed in the 2nd quarter after exit. In cases where participants have multiple PoPs, there would be the same number of instances of a quarterly earnings value. Those values would all be included in the final matrix of values used to determine the median quarterly earnings value for a State.


Column G (except for Median Earnings) is the number in Column F divided by the number in Column E. Column G should never be greater than 100 percent.


Columns D and G are not applicable to Median Earnings.

Instructions for Completing Table 7


* For reporting State-level Administrative/Supervisory/Ancillary Services and Local-level Administrative/Supervisory/Ancillary Services, Counselors, and Paraprofessionals:

  • Enter an unduplicated count of personnel by function and job status. Count the number of positions, not the number of staff who filled them.

  • In Column B, count one time only each part-time position of the program administered under AEFLA who is being paid out of Federal, State, and/or local education funds.

  • In Column C, count one time only each full-time position of the program administered under AEFLA who is being paid out of Federal, State, and/or local education funds.

  • In Column D, report the number of volunteer positions (personnel who are not paid) who served in the program administered under AEFLA.

** For reporting Local Teachers:

  • Count and report the number of teachers, not the number of positions. For example, if one local part-time teaching position was filled with 3 teachers throughout program year, count and report 3 local part-time teachers.

  • Report adult education experience and certification for paid teachers only, not volunteers. The total number of teachers for which experience is reported must equal the total number of teachers reported in Columns B and C.

  • For certification, report all certifications a teacher has. Multiple responses are allowed. Report teachers who lack certification in the “No Certification” category.

Instructions for Completing Table 8

Include only family literacy program participants in Table 8.



Note: All shaded columns will be calculated automatically by OCTAE’s data system.


For reporting measurable skill gains:


Enter in column B the total number of Family Literacy program participants enrolled during the reporting period. Enter in column C the number of participants who achieved one or more educational functioning level gains or attained a secondary school diploma. Enter only one of these achievements, if attained, per participant in column C.



For reporting the exit-based Primary Indicators of Performance:

Follow instructions for completing Table 5 to report these outcomes.


For reporting family literacy outcome measures:

Report in Column B the total number of participants who exited during the program year. Do not exclude participants because of missing Social Security numbers or other missing data.

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.”
