Grantee Performance Report Form Instructions

Introduction

The National Professional Development (NPD) program provides professional development activities intended to improve instruction for students with limited English proficiency (LEP) and assists education personnel working with such children to meet high professional standards.

Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), 34 CFR 75.253, requires each of the funded projects to submit an annual performance report demonstrating that substantial progress has been made toward meeting the approved objectives of the project. In 1993, the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) was passed that requires federally funded agencies to develop and implement an accountability system based on performance measurement. Grantees are required to report on their progress toward meeting the performance measures established for each U.S. Department of Education (ED) grant program. The grantee performance report is the tool designated by the NPD program office for reporting grantee performance.

For Annual Performance Reports (APRs): This report contains target GPRA data that are specific to each budget period, as well as project information, goals and objectives, and budget information. Grantees submit APRs to the NPD program office each spring. The Cover Sheet, Executive Summary and Sections A, B, C, and D of the grantee performance report should be completed for APRs.

For Complete Data Reports (CDRs): This report contains actual performance data that are specific to each budget period. Grantees submit CDRs to the NPD program office each fall. The Cover Sheet, Executive Summary, and Section A of the grantee performance report should be completed for CDRs.

For Final Performance Reports: The due date is 90 days following the end of the final budget period. If you received a no-cost time extension from ED, the final performance report is due 90 days after the revised project period end date. Complete data on performance measures (including GPRA measures) for the final budget period must be submitted with the final performance report. The Cover Sheet, Executive Summary and Sections A, B, C, and D should be completed for the Final Performance Report.

If you have questions about how to complete the grantee performance report, contact:

Cynthia Ryan, (202) 401-1436

The NPD grantee performance report is divided into a Cover Sheet, Executive Summary, and the following four sections:

Section A – NPD GPRA Data

Section B – NPD Project Goals and Objectives (Do not report data for GPRA measures in this section.)

Section C – NPD Project Budget Information

Section D – Additional Information

There is one GPRA performance objective for the NPD program: To improve the quality of teachers of LEP students.

NPD GPRA Performance Measures

ED has developed the following GPRA performance measures for evaluating the outcomes of the NPD program:

Measure 1.1: The percentage of pre-service program completers who are state and/or locally certified, licensed, or endorsed in LEP instruction.

Measure 1.2: The percentage of pre-service program completers who are placed in instructional settings serving LEP students within 1 year of program completion.

Measure 1.3: The percentage of pre-service program completers who are providing instructional services to LEP students 3 years after program completion. (This measure applies to grants awarded in 2010 onward).

Measure 1.4: The percentage of paraprofessional program completers who meet state and/or local qualifications for paraprofessionals working with LEP students.

Measure 1.5: The percentage of in-service teacher completers who complete state and/or local certification, licensure, or endorsement requirements in LEP instruction as a result of the program.

Measure 1.6: The percentage of in-service teacher completers who are providing instructional services to LEP students.

Instructions for Section A-NPD GPRA Data

Section A collects data on the number of participants served and the status of these participants during the reporting period. Grantees are expected to provide target values in the APR due in the spring, and actual values in the CDR due in the fall.

Item A1

The data table for item A1 requests information on pre-service program participants. Grantees that serve only in-service participants and/or paraprofessionals who are not pre-service teachers should answer “No” for item A1a, then skip to item A2.

Definitions

• Pre-service participants: Participants who are not licensed or certified. This may include teachers who have not yet met licensure requirements and are completing alternative certification programs, and paraprofessionals who are working toward teaching credentials.

• In-service participants: Participants who are licensed, currently practicing teachers. This includes teachers who already hold an initial license or certification and are working toward state and/or local certification, licensure, or endorsement requirements in LEP instruction. This also includes licensed, currently practicing teachers who are participating in a program of study that is not designed to lead to state and/or local certification, licensure, or endorsement in LEP instruction.

• Paraprofessionals: Participants who are not pre-service teachers, but are participating in coursework to improve their skills as paraprofessionals.

• Certification, licensure, or endorsement in LEP instruction definitions are dependent on grantee state requirements or, in some cases, local requirements.

• Completed the program of study: Program of study refers to the grantee’s educational plan described in the grantee’s approved scope of work. A participant who completed the program of study would have completed all requisite coursework and other requirements of the program.

• Providing instructional services to LEP students is defined as working with at least one LEP student.

• Instructional setting is an elementary or secondary public school.

• LEP student: The term “limited English proficient” is defined in section 9101 of Title IX, under the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 (ESEA) as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001(NCLB)¹.

Data collection notes

The program office expects grantees to follow pre-service program completers to determine placement and provision of instructional services to LEP students. Grantees should consider the following when responding to item A1:

• For item A1f. grantees are expected to follow up with pre-service program completers to determine placement status within 1 year of program completion.

• For item A1i. grantees are expected to follow up with pre-service program completers to determine if they are providing instructional services to LEP students 3 years after program completion (i.e., during the reporting year).

• For item A1j. grantees should keep the following in mind:

• Pre-service program completers who have left the district(s) served by the grant should be included in this number.

• Pre-service program completers do not need to provide instructional services to LEP students for 3 consecutive years to be included in this number. Rather, program completers need to be providing instructional services to LEP students only at the point— during the reporting period 3 years after program completion.

Explanation of Progress

The data report form has space for additional information about GPRA data. Provide the following for the APR, CDR, and Final Performance Report:

• Describe the reasons for any data discrepancies (i.e., discrepancy between the number of pre-service program completers from the year prior to the reporting year and the number followed 1 year later and /or discrepancy between the number of pre-service program completers from 3 years prior and the number followed 3 years later).

• Describe the grantee’s state and/or local certification requirements for teachers of LEP students.

• How targets were determined.

• An explanation if progress was not made and steps for addressing the issue.

• How data and information were used to make improvements in the project.

• If the grantee had zero pre-service program completers during the reporting year (item A1c), the grantee should report the expected month and year when participants served in the program during the reporting year will complete the program of study. If the grantee had zero pre-service program completers during the year prior to the reporting year (item A1e), the grantee should report the expected month and year when participants served in the program the year prior to the reporting year will complete the program of study.

For example, Grantee A served 30 pre-service program participants during the reporting year, but none completed the program of study. Grantee A expects that these participants should complete the program of study by June 15, 2012. Grantee A would report June 2012 for the expected program completion date for the participants served during the reporting year.

• Describe any challenges in collecting data on participants who have completed the program of study.

• Any other information that would help to explain the information given under item A1.

Item A2

Item A2 requests information on paraprofessional participants served during the reporting period. The following questions apply only to grantees that are training paraprofessionals to work as paraprofessionals (e.g., those in a Community College Program) and not grantees training paraprofessionals who are working toward teacher credentials. Grantees with paraprofessionals training to become credentialed teachers (usually under a 4- or 5-year degree program) should answer “No” for item A2a, then skip to item A3.

Definitions

• Paraprofessionals: Participants who are not pre-service teachers, but are participating in coursework to improve their skills as paraprofessionals.

• Completed the program of study: Program of study refers to the grantee’s educational plan described in the grantee’s approved scope of work. A participant who completed the program of study would have completed all requisite coursework and other requirements of the program.

• LEP student: The term “limited English proficient” is defined in section 9101 of Title IX, under the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 (ESEA) as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001(NCLB).

Explanation of Progress

The data report form has space for additional information about GPRA data. Provide the following for the APR, CDR, and Final Performance Report:

• Describe the reasons for any data discrepancies.

• How targets were determined.

• An explanation if progress was not made and steps for addressing the issue.

• How data and information were used to make improvements in the project.

• If there are zero paraprofessional program completers during the reporting year (item A2c), the grantee should report in this section the expected month and year when participants served in the program during the reporting year will complete the program of study.

For example, Grantee B served 25 paraprofessional participants in the program during the reporting year, but none completed the program of study. Grantee B expects that these participants should complete the program of study by June 9, 2011. Grantee B would report June 2011 for the expected program completion date for the participants served in the program during the reporting year.

• Describe any challenges in collecting data on participants who have completed the program of study.

• Any other information that would help to explain the information given under item A2.

Item A3

Item A3 requests information on in-service participants served during the reporting period. Grantees that serve only pre-service or paraprofessional participants should answer “No” for item A3a, then skip to Section B. This section addresses two types of in-service participants:

• In-service participants in a program of study that is designed to lead participants to state and/or local certification, licensure, or endorsement in LEP instruction during the reporting year, and

• In-service participants in a program of study that is not designed to lead participants to state and/or local certification, licensure, or endorsement in LEP instruction.

Grantees that provide programs of study for both types of in-service participants should report available data in items A3a-i.

Definitions

• In-service participants: Participants who are licensed, currently practicing teachers. This includes teachers who already hold an initial license or certification and are working toward state and/or local certification, licensure, or endorsement requirements in LEP instruction. This also includes licensed, currently practicing teachers who are participating in a program of study that is not designed to lead to state and/or local certification, licensure, or endorsement in LEP instruction.

• Pre-service participants: Participants who are not licensed or certified. This may include teachers who have not yet met licensure requirements and are completing alternative certification programs, and paraprofessionals who are working toward teaching credentials.

• Paraprofessionals: Participants who are not pre-service teachers, but are participating in coursework to improve their skills as paraprofessionals.

• Certification, licensure, or endorsement in LEP instruction definitions are dependent on grantee state requirements or, in some cases, local requirements. For in-service teacher participants, the definition would include completion of coursework that enables a participant to maintain state and/or local certification, licensure or endorsement in LEP instruction. It would not include a certification in LEP instruction that does not meet state and/or local requirements.

• Completed the program of study: Program of study refers to the grantee’s educational plan described in the grantee’s approved scope of work. A participant who completed the program of study would have completed all requisite coursework and other requirements of the program.

• Providing instructional services to LEP students is defined as working with at least one LEP student.

• Instructional setting is an elementary or secondary public school.

• LEP student: The term “limited English proficient” is defined in section 9101 of Title IX, under the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 (ESEA) as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001(NCLB).

Explanation of Progress

The data report form has space for additional information about GPRA data. Provide the following for the APR, CDR, and Final Performance Report:

• Describe the reasons for any data discrepancies.

• Describe the grantee’s state and/or local certification requirements for teachers of LEP students

• How targets were determined.

• An explanation if progress was not made and steps for addressing the issue.

• How data and information were used to make improvements in the project.

• If the grantee had zero in-service program completers during the reporting year (items A3d and/or A3h), the grantee should report the expected month and year when participants served in the program during the reporting year will complete a program of study.

For example, Grantee C served 28 in-service program participants in the program during the reporting year, but none completed the program of study. Grantee C expects that these participants should complete the program of study by May 15, 2011. Grantee C would report May 2011 for the expected program completion date for the participants taking part in the program during the reporting year.

• Describe any challenges in collecting data on participants who have completed the program of study.

• Any other information that would help to explain the information given under item A3.

Instructions for Section B – NPD Project Goals and Objectives

Do not report data for GPRA performance measures in this section.

-- Annual Performance and Final Performance Reports:

In the approved grant application, grantees establish project objectives stating what they expect to achieve with the funded grant project. Generally, one or more performance measures are established for each project objective designed to demonstrate whether a project met or made progress toward meeting project objectives.

Grantees are to report on the results to date of their project evaluation as required under EDGAR, 34 CFR 75.590. According to the instructions below, for each project objective included in the approved grant application, grantees are to provide quantitative and/or qualitative (e.g., description of training activities) data for each associated performance measure and a description of preliminary findings or outcomes that demonstrate that they have met or are making progress towards meeting the performance measure. An explanation must also accompany the data on the performance measures.

Project Objective:

Enter each project objective from the approved grant application. Only one project objective should be entered per row. Project objectives should be numbered sequentially (i.e., 1., 2., 3., etc.). Data on GPRA objectives should not be reported in this section.

Performance Measure:

For each project objective, enter each associated performance measure. Multiple performance measures may be associated with each project objective. Enter only one performance measure per row. Each performance measure that is associated with a particular project objective should be labeled using an alpha indicator. Example: The first performance measure associated with project objective “1” should be labeled “1.a.,” the second performance measure for project objective “1” should be labeled “1.b.,” etc.

Quantitative Data:

Target and Actual Performance Data

Grantees must provide the targets established for meeting each performance measure and provide actual performance data demonstrating progress toward meeting or exceeding this target. Only quantitative (numeric) data should be entered in the Target and Actual Performance Data boxes.

The Target and Actual Performance Data boxes are each divided into three columns: Raw Number, Ratio, and Percentage (%).

For performance measures that are stated in terms of a single number (e.g., the number of professional development workshops that will be conducted or number of participants), the target and actual performance data should be reported as a single number under the Raw Number column (e.g., 10 workshops or 20 teachers). Please leave the Ratio and Percentage (%) columns blank.

For performance measures that are stated in terms of a percentage (e.g., percentage of new teachers recruited, complete both the Ratio column and the Percentage (%) column. Please leave the Raw Number column blank. In the Ratio column (e.g., 30/40), the numerator represents the numerical target (e.g., the number of teachers intended to be recruited) or actual performance data (e.g., the number of teachers recruited), and the denominator represents the number of teachers served under each objective. Please enter the corresponding percentage (e.g., 75%) in the Percentage (%) column.

If the collection of quantitative data is not appropriate for a particular performance measure, please leave the Target and Actual Performance Data boxes blank and provide an explanation and any relevant qualitative data for the performance measure in the section entitled, Explanation of Progress.
