Performance Reporting

The adult education grant programs funded through state and federal grants administered by the Adult Education Initiatives Office at CDE have distinct performance reporting requirements. The performance targets, performance outcomes, and narrative reports for each of the following grant programs are available.

Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) / WIOA Title II Grant Program

Adult Education and Literacy Act Grant Program

Colorado Adult High School Grant Program

AEFLA/WIOA Title II Performance Reporting

AEFLA Performance Accountability measures are used to assess State and program effectiveness in achieving positive outcomes for learners. Based on past performance and continuous improvement requirements, the U.S. Department of Education's Office fo Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) negotiates with the Colorado Department of Education's Office of Adult Education Initiatives (AEI) annually to establish performance accountability targets.

The chart below shows Colorado's performance accountability targets for the other five measures over the next two years.

AEFLA Performance Accountability Targets for Program Years 2024-25 and 2025-26

Measure	2024-25 Target	2025-26 Target
Measurable Skill Gains	44%	45%
Employment, 2nd Quarter after Exit	25.20%	25.30%
Employment, 4th Quarter after Exit	24%	25%
Median Earnings, 2nd Quarter after Exit	$6,100	$6,150
Credential Attainment Rate	19%	20%
Effectiveness in Serving Employers	Baseline	Baseline

The timeline and process for when grantees will start reporting Effectiveness in Serving Employers data is to be determined. Reporting specifications, processes and timelines are in development with WIOA Core Partners at the state level. Once interagency agreements are in place for data sharing, grantees will be trained on Effectiveness in Serving Employers data collection and reporting. More details about the annual AEFLA data collection can be found in the NRS Technical Assistance Guide and the NRS website.
