- Report Card
- In 2005, a team comprised of staff from the New York State Education Department (NYSED), the Literacy Assistance Center ALIES office (LAC), and the Regional Adult Education Network developed local report cards that would visually display key elements of program performance. For more on the Report cards, see State Tools and Resources below.
State Tools and Resources
New York Report Cards. Rubric that combines several elements of program performance to yield a single score that could be used to place agencies in four quartiles. The quartiles indicate that agency performance is unacceptable, marginal, adequate, or exemplary. Agencies receiving an unacceptable rating are placed under corrective action. They would be required to develop a corrective action plan and would receive technical assistance. They would be given from one to three years to improve performance. If after three years performance did not improve so that they are no longer in the unacceptable category, funding would be terminated.
