FY 2008 Annual Report of Achievements - Gallaudet University FY 2008 Annual Report of Achievements - Gallaudet University
92 Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA): Clerc Center The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) requires that federally supported programs establish performance measures to monitor progress toward objectives. Gallaudet University, including the Clerc Center, works with the U.S. Department of Education to determine such measures. Data for these indicators are collected and reported annually. The goals, objectives, and performance measures reported below are those that apply to the Clerc Center. These results come in part from data in the tables presented later in this report (see National Mission Data Summary). The FY 2008 performance results follow. The U.S. Department of Education’s program goal for Gallaudet University (excerpt) To challenge students who are deaf to achieve their academic goals and obtain productive employment, provide leadership in setting the national standard for best practices in education of the deaf and hard of hearing, and establish a sustainable resource base. Objective 1: The Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) and Kendall Demonstration Elementary School (KDES) will optimize the number of students completing programs of study. Measure 1.4: The enrollment in the Model Secondary School for the Deaf FY 08 Target: 225 FY 08 Performance: 164 Measure 1.5: The enrollment in the Kendall Demonstration Elementary School FY 08 Target: 140 FY 08 Performance: 127 Discussion: The official enrollment date is September 15 preceding the October 1 start of the fiscal year. Measure 1.11: Graduation rate of Model Secondary School students FY 08 Target: 90% FY 08 Performance: 91% Discussion: This indicator was revised to accommodate MSSD’s fifth-year extended senior program option. It is a cohort-based, cumulative senior graduation rate. Each senior cohort includes those students who enroll as first-year seniors each academic year. These seniors are then followed for two years, with the cumulative on-time and extended-time graduation rate reported at the end of the second year. These calculations remove members of the senior cohort who transfer to other diploma-granting high school programs but retain senior withdrawals who drop out or whose destination is unknown. The FY 2008 cohort was formed from FY 2007 new seniors who were expected to graduate no later than the end of FY 2008. By the end of FY 2007, 64% of this cohort had completed the MSSD program on time. By the end of FY 2008, an additional 27% of the cohort had completed the MSSD program in extended time. The FY 08 performance, then, is the two-year cumulative graduation rate.
Objective 2: Gallaudet University works in partnership with others to develop and disseminate educational programs and materials for deaf and hard of hearing students. Measure 2.1: The number of other programs and/or institutions adopting Model/Kendall innovative strategies/curricula or modifying their strategies as a result of Model and Kendall’s leadership FY 08 Target: 55 FY 08 Performance: 54 Discussion: The Clerc Center will work with the U.S. Department of Education to develop a new outreach outcome measure for this objective. Objective 3: Curriculum and extracurricular activities prepare students to meet the skill requirements of the workplace and/or to continue their studies. Measure 3.4: The percentage of Model Secondary School graduates who were in jobs within four months to one year after graduation FY 08 Target: New baseline to be set FY 08 Performance: 33% Discussion: For MSSD students who graduated in 2007, 33% reported being employed one year after graduation. For MSSD students who graduated in 2008, 7% were employed four months after graduation. In FY 2007, this measure was changed to reflect only the percentage of graduates in jobs. Calculations are based on the number of respondents to each survey. Measure 3.5: The percentage of Model Secondary School graduates who are in advanced education or training programs within four months to one year after graduation FY 08 Target: New baseline to be set FY 08 Performance: 75% Discussion: For MSSD students who graduated in 2007, 75% reported being enrolled in postsecondary programs one year after graduation. For MSSD students who graduated in 2008, 71% were enrolled in postsecondary programs four months after graduation. In FY 2007, this measure was changed to reflect only the percentage of graduates in advanced education or training programs. Calculations are based on the number of respondents to each survey. Measure 3.6: The percentage of Model Secondary School graduates who were not in jobs or postsecondary (advanced education or training) programs within four months to one year after graduation FY 08 Target: New baseline to be set FY 08 Performance: 0% Discussion: For MSSD students who graduated in 2007, none reported not being in jobs or enrolled in postsecondary programs one year after graduation. For MSSD students who graduated in 2008, 21% were not in jobs or enrolled in postsecondary programs four months after graduation. In FY 2007 this measure was changed to reflect only the percentage of graduates who were neither in jobs nor postsecondary education programs. Calculations are based on the number of respondents to each survey. Note for measures 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. Because some graduates may be both working and attending postsecondary education programs, the U.S. Department of Education has requested that the total percentage be disaggregated to show the percentages of graduates who are (a) working, (b) attending postsecondary education or training, and (c) neither working nor attending postsecondary programs. Targets for this disaggregated reporting have not yet been set. 93
