9. Educational Functioning Level Gain
Documented achievement of at least once educational functioning level of a participant who is receiving instruction below the postsecondary education level. Programs may measure educational functioning level gain in one of three ways:
The approved pre- and post-tests must be based on the list of tests the Secretary of Education determines to be suitable for use in the National Reporting System for Adult Education. The list of approved assessments is published annually in the Federal Register.
(1) Comparing the participant’s initial educational functioning level, as measured by
a pre-test, with the participant’s educational functioning level, as measured by a
post-test.
(2) States that offer adult high school programs that lead to a secondary school
diploma or its recognized equivalent may measure and report educational gain
through the awarding of credits or Carnegie units.
(3) States may report an educational functioning level gain for participants who exit
the program and enroll in postsecondary education and training during the
program year.
Three ways one can measure EFL’s. Pre-test post test. High School or equivalent credits. Exit the program and enroll in postsecondary ed or training during the program year.
