Maintain and improve educational achievement by using multiple and appropriate evaluation measures; • Accrue school credits that meet state requirements for grade promotion and secondary school graduation;
Make the transition to a regular program or the education program operated by an LEA; and • Complete secondary school (or secondary school equivalency requirements) and obtain employment after leaving the institution. • In conducting each evaluation, a state agency & LEA shall use multiple & appropriate measures of student progress.
Each state agency & LEA shall: • Submit evaluation results to the state educational agency; and • Use the results of evaluations to plan & improve subsequent programs for participating children & youth. • Develop/Disseminate Reporting Instrument
