Abstract: Explore and review several concrete examples to “dive deeper” into agency data from the ground level, with emphasis on the specific steps needed to answer the underlying questions about agency persistence and performance.
This session addresses some overriding questions about CAEP agency performance and persistence:
Part I will define these basic questions, provide some simple metrics within AEP reports to determine local performance proficiency on these basic questions, and offer many “qualitative” tips and suggestions for how agencies might address these data issues—with the specific suggestions depending on the output of each program’s local data results.
Part IIwill review several concrete “quantitative” examples that focus on the consortium level, using features such as Excel to “dive deeper” into local consortium level data results from the ground level, and will look at questions such as:
- How many adult education program students that enroll – actually make it into an instructional program?
- Of those students in an instructional program, how many are showing any progress as defined by AEBG/AEP metrics?
- Of students that attempt pre/post-testing, how many stay in program long enough to generate a pre/post-test pair?
