3. 3 Overview of The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) A law passed in 1993 requiring all federally funded agencies to develop and implement an accountability system based on performance measurement. Data for GPRA performance measures are collected through the grantee performance report completed by grantees. Program Offices use GPRA data to help make decisions about grantee continuation funding and to show overall program progress by aggregating data across grantees. GPRA data may also be used by Congress to determine future program funding.

4. NPD GPRA Measures Objective: To improve the quality of teachers of LEP students. Measure 1.1: The percentage of pre-service program completers who are state and/or locally certified, licensed, or endorsed in LEP instruction. Measure 1.2: The percentage of pre-service program completers who are placed in instructional settings serving LEP students within 1 year of program completion. Measure 1.3: The percentage of pre-service program completers who are providing instructional services to LEP students 3 years after program completion. 4

5. NPD GPRA Measures (continued) Measure 1.4: The percentage of paraprofessional program completers who meet state and/or local qualifications for paraprofessionals working with LEP students. Measure 1.5: The percentage of in-service teacher completers who complete state and/or local certification, licensure, or endorsement requirements in LEP instruction as a result of the program. Measure 1.6: The percentage of in-service teacher completers who are providing instructional services to LEP students. 5

6. Grantee Reporting for GPRA Measures Grantees do not report on GPRA measures directly. Grantees report number of participants served and the status of these participants for applicable GPRA measures. Grantees provide data within three types of performance reports. 6

7. Types of Reports Annual Performance Report (APR)  Contains target GPRA performance data specific to each budget period  Due each Spring Complete Data Report (CDR)  Contains actual GPRA performance data specific to each budget period  Due each Fall after each performance period Final Performance Report (FPR)  Contains actual GPRA performance data for the final budget period  Due within 90 days after the end of the project period (including any period of no-cost extension) All reports use the NPD Grantee Performance Report Form. 7
