Status: Unable to judge.
Math and Science: Positive movement. Explanation: Based on data supplied by current grantees, increases on the percentage of students scoring above basic in math and science. In 1999, 100% of the 8th grade students from Galena who attended the Enrichment Program the previous March, scored above the 50th percentile on the science section and 63.6% were in the top quartile. These results suggest that the Enrichment Program is having a significant positive effect on student achievement in areas where performance traditionally had been weak. |
Additional Source Information: Grantee performance reports, Alaska Native Student Enrichment Program 2000, 2001. Frequency: Annually. Collection Period: 2002. Validated By: No Formal Verification. Data supplied by grantees. Limitations: Data are self-reported by grantee. There is no consistent measure of achievement across funded projects. |

Status: No current data but progress toward target is likely.
Continuing increase is likely. Explanation: Program is focused on providing professional development to teachers in rural areas. However, we are not able to measure the extent to which the professional development leads to improved performance in the classroom. |
Additional Source Information: Grantee performance reports. Frequency: Annually. Collection Period: 2001. Validated By: No Formal Verification. Limitations: This indicator is not an assessment of teacher knowledge and does not measure the quality of professional development activities. The data will be improved by encouraging grantees to develop and collect teacher evaluations/teacher response surveys to evaluate professional development activities. |

Status: Unable to judge.
No previous targets set. Unable to judge until further data are available. Explanation: Grantee is required to complete an evaluation of the Home Based Education for Preschool Children Program in FY 2000. Data will be available in 2001 and will be reported in FY 2002. |
Source: Performance Report Grantee Performance Report: 1810-0503 Annual Performance Reporting Format for OIE Formula Grants to LEAs. Frequency: Other. Collection Period: 2000. Validated By: No Formal Verification. Limitations: Grantee is required to submit an evaluation of the program. Data that are supplied after the participants start school could be better measured to see if parent involvement continues as children enter school. |
