Section CXVII-705 - State Approved Adult Education Data System

A. The Louisiana Department of Education mandates that adult education programs, which it funds, must use the state approved Adult Education Data System. Local programs are responsible for covering the costs of implementing and maintaining the system with a portion of their local grant funds. Staff from the Louisiana Department of Education and staff from the state approved adult education data management system are committed to improving data quality by providing professional development workshops each year. The program supervisor or director will ensure that all program staff involved in gathering, analyzing, compiling, and reporting data for NRS will attend, at a minimum, an annual inservice meeting addressing the following topics: NRS and accountability policies; data collection process; definitions of performance measures; conducting pre and post assessments; and using data for improvement. While the above information can serve as a refresher for returning staff each year, it must also be included as part of the required inservice for new staff throughout the year. Adult Education staff shall participate in professional development training as specified in the State Plan, Section 12. 1
