It seems so long ago since state directors, adult education stakeholders, and the OVAE staff met to make changes regarding follow-up measures.
But the time has come, and these changes will go into effect in just a few weeks.
What's changing? While in the past, the NRS relied on student self-reported goals like “earn my GED,” effective July 1, 2012, students will automatically be entered into the following cohorts:
- Entered Employment
- Retained Employment
- Obtained a GED or Secondary Diploma
- Entered Postsecondary Education/Training
In addition, there are new measures to be reported on for students and teachers. For students, it is the highest educational level or degree attained. For teachers, it is the number of years teaching experience and what certifications they have achieved.
