Progress toward meeting CPP 1 and/or CPP2: Name which CPP(s) you addressed in your original application and a brief summary of how you said you would address the priority Discuss what groundwork has been completed thus far toward meeting the goals of your CPP plan?

17 APR Executive Summary Eligible Partnership: Have there been any issues/changes with members of the eligible partnership? How has the relationship between the IHE and partnering LEA(s) improved as a result of TQP? Challenges: What has been your biggest challenge(s) with program implementation in Year 1 and how have you overcome the challenge(s)? If the challenge(s) is ongoing and you would like to receive additional technical assistance with eliminating the challenge please let us know what we can do to assist. 100% Non-federal Match requirement: What is your process for securing matching funds? What challenges have your faced in securing matching funds? What if any questions do you have about the match requirement? 17

18 APR Executive Summary Evaluation: Describe the work you have accomplished with the evaluator during the first year. EXAMPLE: how often have you met with the evaluator and do you have a clear plan for moving forward with the project evaluation years 2-5? What, if any, evaluation findings have been found in Year 1 and how will they affect you in Years 2-5? Promising Practices: Discuss one or two things that you are doing WELL and would not mind us sharing with other TQP grantees. When writing your Executive Summary please remember to: Write as a narrative, in paragraph form Highlight the most salient aspects of the project—remember concise and focused. Do not cut and paste long sections from the application. You may include additional information about your project, but PLEASE make sure you have included the information requested above. 18

19 19 Questions Please submit your questions about the purpose of the APR, parts of the ED 524B, or the 524B cover sheet using the chat box feature of the webinar software.

20 GPRA/HEA Measures vs. Project Measures GPRA/HEA Measures (Program Measures) Also called Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Measures HEA measures are similar to GPRA, but are included in the program statute Standardized reporting requirements Aggregate data across TQP projects Designed to provide data about TQP program effectiveness Project Measures May have been included in the grant application, possibly derived from logic model and/or in conjunction with an independent evaluator. Tailored to each individual TQP project Assessed to evaluate services provided and monitor project implementation 20

21 TQP GPRA Measures Performance Measure 1: Graduation. The percentage of program completers who-- (i)Attain initial certification/licensure by passing all necessary licensure/certification assessments and attain a bachelor’s degree (pre- baccalaureate program) within six years or a master’s degree (residency program) within two years; or (ii)Attain Highly Competent Early Childhood Educator (HCECE) status with a bachelor’s degree within six years or an associate’s degree within three years. Performance Measure 2: Employment Retention. The percentage of beginning teachers who are retained in teaching in the partner high-need LEA or ECE program three years after initial employment; Performance Measure 3: Improved Scores. The percentage of grantees that report improved scaled scores for initial state certification or licensure of teachers; Performance Measure 4: Student Learning. The percentage of grantees that report improved aggregate learning outcomes of students taught by new teachers. These data can be calculated using a student growth measure, a teacher evaluation measure, or both. 21

22 TQP GPRA MEASURES 5. Efficiency Measure: Employment Retention. The cost of a successful outcome where success is defined as retention in the partner high-need LEA or ECE program three years after initial employment; Because the performance measures already listed would not provide data for a number of years, the Department has also created the following two measures that will provide data in a shorter timeframe— 6i. Short-Term Performance Measure 1: Persistence. The percentage of program participants who did not graduate in the previous reporting period, and who persisted in the postsecondary program in the current reporting period; and 6ii. Short-Term Performance Measure 2: Employment Retention. The percentage of beginning teachers who are retained in teaching in the partner high-need LEA or ECE program one year after initial employment. 22

23 Target Data vs. Actual Data Target Data Target data are the goals for each measure as stated in the approved application. Target data should match the targets in the application Actual Data Actual data are the measures of actual performance for this performance period 23 Please use ratios and percentages, not raw numbers.

24 Sample APR Section A- Status Chart 24 1. Performance MeasureMeasure TypeQuantitative Data The number of students served by the project GPRA, HEA, Project TargetActual Performance Data Raw Number Ratio% Raw Number Ratio% // Sample Explanation of Progress: During the reporting year, our program served 975 students, through 38 elementary school teachers. This count of students was determined by examining the class rosters of the 38 teachers. Because of the nature of the program, all students in each of the 38 elementary school teachers were counted as being served by the program. The annual target was 1,000 students, so we did not reach our target this year. We believe that this was because this was the program’s first year. We have undertaken a review to determine why we missed the target and will implement changes in the coming year to avoid this problem again. Of the 975 students served, 432 were high-needs students.

Amongst the different type of licensure tests offered in subjects covered by TQP reforms, record number of licensure tests in which the reporting period score was greater than the baseline score. If five different types of licensure tests were offered, and the average score on three of those tests was greater than the baseline score, the number of licensure tests offered would be entered as five and the number of licensure tests with improved scaled scores would be three. This data would be recorded for GPRA 3.

38 Section B—Budget Information Grantees should complete a budget summary chart provided to include budget information on the five (5) components below: 1.Approved Budget for Year 1 (10/1/14-9/30/15). 2.Expended funds for Year 1 current reporting period (10/01/14-4/30/15). 3.Expected expenditures for the remainder of the Year 1 budget period (05/01/15-9/30/15). 4.Carryover funds from Year 1 to Year 2. 5.Requested Year 2 budget. 38

39 Section B- Budget Information 39 Budget Categories Year 1 Approved Year 1 Actual Expenditures 10/1/15- 4/30/15 Year 1 Expected Expenditures 5/1/15 – 9/30/15 Year 1 to Year 2 Carryover Year 2 Requested Budget Personnel $70,000 $0 $70,000 Fringe $10,000 $0 $10,000 Travel $20,000 $16,845 $4,000 $3,155$25,000 Equipment $7,000 $5,413 $2,000 $1,587$7,000 Supplies $30,000 $10,465 $20,000 $19,535$30,000 Contractual $100,000 $75,087 $25,000 $24,913$100,000 Other $40,000 $25,789 $9,000 $14,211$40,000 Total Direct Costs $277,000 $213,599 $2,500 $63,401$282,000 Indirect Costs $11,634 $8,971 $3,000 $2,663$11,844 Training Stipends $20,000 $28,000 $2,100 -$8,000$30,000 Total Costs$308,634$250,570$42,000$58,064$323,844 Explanation of Budget: The unexpended projected funds in each category are due mostly to an over-estimation of costs. After the proposal was funded, contracts with our partners were finalized, and we found many services, such as usage of partner facilities for training, were much less costly than projected and, in some cases, free. The amount spent on stipends increased from $20,000 to $28,000, as we served more teachers than originally planned. We plan to use the carryover from our first project year to increase the number of teacher participants, offer an additional weekend training seminar, and increase training stipends distributed across grant years 2, 3, 4, and 5.

46 APR Submission Tips Always address GPRA Measures first, then HEA measures, finally individual Project Measures Provide relevant detail in a succinct format Complete all sections of the APR Use numbers and always interpret data provided in layman’s terms Where possible, do not use vague language like more, most, or less. Please use more quantitative language that can be linked by to your program or project objectives. 46
