Period of Participation (Key Points)A Period of Participation (PoP)begins with a student’s first day of recorded attendance.

ends

the last date the participant has recorded attendance (before exiting the program for at least 90 days).must be at least 12 hours.must have a valid assessment.can continue across fiscal years.

GALIS determines a student’s entry and exit

dates behind the scenes based upon entered attendance data.

Students can have more than one PoP in a fiscal year. However, in FY18,

fewer than 3% of students

had more than one PoP.

Three ways to get MSG in Adult EducationComparing the participant’s

pretest with the participant’s posttest

, using an NRS approved test

Enrollment in postsecondary education or training after exit (no service for 90 days), but by June 30th of the fiscal year from any level

Earning a secondary diploma (GED) by June 30th of the fiscal year from any level

Slide7

Recording Student Data on NRS Table 4NRS Table 4 is divided into rows and columns.Rows:

Students

are placed in an Educational Functioning Level (EFL) based upon their lowest pre-test score. Their outcomes are reported on this row, even if their EFL goes up.7

Columns:

MSG is reported on

Table 4

in columns D, E, & J

Column D – EFL Gain

(Pre/Post-testing and Postsecondary Entry)Column E – GED

® Credential Attainment by 6/30Column J – All Measurable Skill Gains

for all PoPs

Slide8

How MSG is Reported on Table 4Some post-testing achievements made in a second PoP can be counted back to

the first PoP

. GALIS makes this determination behind the

scenes. MSGs are always counted to give the most benefit to the local program. 8

Multiple Measurable Skill Gains (MSG) via pre/post-testing can happen during a PoP, but

only the last one achieved (by date) is reported on the NRS Table 4.

Slide9

GED and Postsecondary Entry ReportingWhile pre/post-testing gains are still recorded in GALIS, for NRS Table 4 reporting, GED and Postsecondary Entry achievements:

supersede the reporting of pre/post-testing

achievements.

are reported no matter when they were achieved during the fiscal year, as long as it was by June 30. (Note: A student has to exit adult education before the postsecondary entry for it to count.)are reported in all of the Periods of Participation that the student has on Table 4.If the student has both the GED and Postsecondary Entry, the last one achieved by date is reported.

Final Thoughts: PoPs and MSGPrograms are encouraged to:Practice a variety of scenarios at team meetings and trainings

Provide ongoing training throughout the year

Request technical assistance and/or training from OAE

Ensure all employees gain understanding 23
