Accountability requires systematic measurement of outcomes for students documented by standardized assessment, collection of quality data at the individual student level, and consistent reporting of aggregate data across Oregon’s Title II Adult Education system.
Oregon uses TOPSpro software for federal reporting. Local programs collect data according to state and federal guidelines and export that data annually to the state in a format compatible with TOPSpro. This data provides state and local decision-makers with information to improve programs and monitor progress of basic skills learners. TOPSpro data is also cross-matched against other statewide databases to verify outcome information for federal performance reporting.
