Abstract: This technical assistance paper provides policy and guidance to individuals with test administration responsibilities in adult education programs. There are four important reasons for creating a data-driven accountability system for adult education programs: (1) WIOA mandates that states develop a data-driven accountability system to establish and utilize performance measures to make funding decisions, monitor programs and provide technical assistance; (2) A high-performing data-driven accountability system supports WIOA-funded adult education providers in assessing the educational progress of all students engaged in 12 hours or more of instructional activities within the state's adult education program; (3) FDOE has enhanced its monitoring processes by instituting a data-driven system for determining program performance. In addition, overall monitoring visits are provided by a dedicated compliance and monitoring team; and (4) By utilizing a data-driven accountability system, local agency directors can focus their attention on establishing program performance targets and program improvements. Florida's data reporting system and the NRS are uniform and compatible for measuring student educational gains established by approved USDOE and FDOE assessments. The National Reporting System (NRS) data reporting system measures student progress by Measurable Skills Gains (MSG). Educational Functioning Levels (EFL) are used to determine the academic progress of adult education students. There are twelve levels, each describing the academic skills that an adult should be able to perform: 6 levels for Adult Basic Education (ABE) and 6 levels for English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), with the ESOL EFL levels considered lower than those for ABE EFL.
