1. AEFLA Performance Accountability Targets
AEFLA Performance Accountability measures are used to assess State and program effectiveness in achieving positive outcomes for learners. Based on past performance and continuous improvement requirements, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) negotiates with the Colorado Department of Education's Office of Adult Education Initiatives (AEI) annually to establish performance accountability targets.
According to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Section 116 (b)(2)(A)(i), the primary indicators of performance are the following:
- Employment, Second Quarter after Exit
- Employment, Fourth Quarter after Exit
- Median Earnings, Second Quarter after Exit
- Credential Attainment Rate
- Measurable Skill Gains (MSG)
- Effectiveness in Serving Employers
The timeline and process for when grantees will start reporting Effectiveness in Serving Employers data is to be determined. Reporting specifications, processes and timelines are in development with WIOA Core Partners at the state level. Once interagency agreements are in place for data sharing, grantees will be trained on Effectiveness in Serving Employers data collection and reporting.
The chart below shows Colorado's performance accountability targets for the other five measures over the next two years.

**Measurable Skill Gain (MSG) can be achieved in one of three ways:
- Pre- and Post-test Level Gain
- High School Equivalency (HSE) diploma attainment
- Exiting AEFLA programming and enrolling in post-secondary education or training before the end of the program year (June 30)
Only AEFLA funded learners who are age eligible, are pre-tested into a valid Educational Functioning Level (EFL), and who attend 12 or more hours are included in the MSG counts.
AEI conducts end of year data matches for HSE diploma Attainment and exit with post-secondary entrance.
The match criteria for HSE Diploma attainment are SSN or Name and DOB.
MSG rates are calculated by diving the total unduplicated gains for each period of participation over the total number of periods of participation (PoPs).
All learners included in the MSG count have at least one PoP. Learners will count under a second PoP if, during the program year, they separate for 90 or more days, and then return and again meet the count's eligibility criteria (age eligible, pre-tested into a valid Educational Functioning Level (EFL), and who attend 12 or more hours).
Only unduplicated gains in each PoP count in the numerator of the MSG rate.
