| Program Goal: To challenge students who are deaf, graduate students who are deaf, and graduate students who are hearing 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 of 3: The University Programs and the Model Secondary School for the Deaf and the Kendall Demonstration Elementary School will optimize the number of students completing programs of study. |
| Indicator 1.1 of 3: Enrollment at Gallaudet University: Maintain minimum enrollment numbers in Gallaudet's undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies programs, as well as the Model Secondary School for the Deaf and the Kendall Demonstration Elementary School as established by Gallaudet University. |
Source: Collegiate Office of Enrollment Services, and Clerc Center student database, FY 2006 enrollment as of October 2005, summarized in Gallaudet's FY 2005 annual report, submitted in 2006. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Explanation: Gallaudet has established minimum enrollment targets based on long-standing enrollment targets and historical trends, recognizing that actual figures vary from year to year. A degree-seeking student who is dually-enrolled in Professional Studies course is only counted under 1 of the categories. |

| Indicator 1.2 of 3: Student persistence rate: Increase the undergraduate persistence rate and increase or maintain the graduate student persistence rate. |
Source: Collegiate Office of the Register records, summarized in the FY 2005 annual report, submitted in 2006. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Explanation: For FY 2006, this measure changed from retention rates to persistence rates. This measure was designated as a long-term measure in FY 2006. |

| Indicator 1.3 of 3: Student graduation rates: The undergraduate graduation rate will reach 48 percent; the graduate student and Model Secondary School student graduation rates will be increased or maintained. |
Source: Collegiate Office of the Registrar and the Clerc Center Office of Exemplary Programs and Research records, summarized in FY 2005 annual report, submitted in 2006. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Explanation: The undergraduate graduation rates are calculated as the number of graduates in one year over the number of entering students six years previously. Graduation from MSSD is more than completion of required course work. Graduation signals that students have successfully met their IEP goals, so that graduation becomes an Individualized Education Program (IEP) decision. Students may graduate at the end of their senior year, or they may make the decision, as part of the IEP process, to return to MSSD for a fifth year to pursue their IEP goals. As of FY 2005, the graduate rate was disaggregated to show those who graduate after four years and those who exercise a 5th-year option. The FY 2005 data only reports those who graduated after their senior year. The second year seniors (5th-year option) for FY 2005 will be reported after June 2006; the Annual Graduation rate will be calculated at that time. |

| Objective 2 of 3: Gallaudet works in partnership with others to develop and disseminate educational programs and materials for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. |
| Indicator 2.1 of 1: Use of the demonstration schools' expertise: Other programs and/or institutions adopting innovative curricula and other products, or modifying their strategies as a result of Model and Kendall's leadership, will be maintained or increased. |
Source: Records of the Clerc Center Office of Training and Professional Development, summarized in the FY 2004 Annual Report, submitted in January 2005. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Explanation: The number of new programs adopting innovations from year to year will vary and depends in part on the number and type of strategies and curricula being disseminated by the Clerc Center and the financial and personnel resources available within other programs for training and implementation activities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Objective 3 of 3: Curriculum and extracurricular activities prepare students to meet the skill requirements of the workplace or to continue their studies. |
| Indicator 3.1 of 2: Employment and advanced studies opportunities at the university: Gallaudet's bachelor's graduates either find employment commensurate with their training and education or attend advanced education or training programs during their first year after graduation. |
Source: University study on the status of graduates' employment and advanced studies, February, 2005. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Explanation: In FY 2006, this measure was disaggregated by adding a new category ''Not Engaged in Either Activity'' to capture the perecentage of graduates who are NOT employed or in advanced education or training during their first year after graduation. The FY 2006 target is to establish a baseline for the new category. The FY 2007 target for the new category is to maintain the baseline. Students employed include both full and part-time employment. Advanced education or training includes students enrolled in a master's or Ph.D. program, a vocational or technical program, or another type of program, e.g., law school or medical school. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Indicator 3.2 of 2: Employment and advanced studies opportunities at the Model Secondary School: A high percentage of the Model Secondary School graduates either find jobs commensurate with their training or attend postsecondary programs. |
Source: The follow-up survey is conducted by the Cerc Center Office of Exemplary Programs and Research, approximately one year following June graduation. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Explanation: In FY 2007 this measure was changed to reflect the status of graduates one year following graduation, rather than the previous measure of a 4-month follow-up. The FY 2007 target is to establish the baselines for the three categories: ''students employed,'' ''students in advanced education or training,'' and ''not engaged in either activity.'' |
