5. Performance Measures: For the
purposes of Department reporting under
34 CFR 75.110, we have established a
set of performance measures, including
long-term measures, that are designed to
yield information on various aspects of
the effectiveness and quality of the
ETechM2 Program. These measures are:
• Program Performance Measure 1:
The percentage of ETechM2 Program
products and services judged to be of
high quality by an independent review
panel of experts qualified to review the
substantial content of the products and
services.
• Program Performance Measure 2:
The percentage of ETechM2 Program
products and services judged to be of
high relevance to improving outcomes
for infants, toddlers, children, and
youth with disabilities.
• Program Performance Measure 3:
The percentage of ETechM2 Program
products and services judged to be
useful in improving results for infants,
toddlers, children, and youth with
disabilities.
• Program Performance Measure 4.1:
The Federal cost per unit of accessible
educational materials funded by the
ETechM2 Program.
• Program Performance Measure 4.2:
The Federal cost per unit of accessible
educational materials from the National
Instructional Materials Access Center
funded by the ETechM2 Program.
• Program Performance Measure 4.3:
The Federal cost per unit of video
description funded by the ETechM2
Program.
Program Performance Measures 1, 2,
and 3 apply to projects funded under
this competition, and grantees are
required to submit data on Program
Performance Measures 1, 2, and 3 as
directed by OSEP.
Grantees will be required to report
information on their project’s
performance in annual performance
reports and additional performance data
to the Department (34 CFR 75.590 and

6. Continuation Awards: In making a
continuation award under 34 CFR
75.253, the Secretary considers, among
other things: whether a grantee has
made substantial progress in achieving
the goals and objectives of the project;
whether the grantee has expended funds
in a manner that is consistent with its
approved application and budget; and,
if the Secretary has established
performance measurement
requirements, whether the grantee has
made substantial progress in achieving
the performance targets in the grantee’s
approved application.
In making a continuation award, the
Secretary also considers whether the
grantee is operating in compliance with
the assurances in its approved
application, including those applicable
to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit
discrimination in programs or activities
receiving Federal financial assistance
from the Department (34 CFR 100.4,
104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).
