Uploaded by Lute

This OMS Factor Verification Survey collects center-level information on how HSE testing services are delivered. It covers which state-adopted HSE tests are relevant (2014 GED, HiSET, and/or TASC), whether and when students took those tests in CY 2018, and why some did not. It also gathers details about High School Diploma (HSD) program options and anticipated changes through PY 2018, including how HSD versus HSE strategies affect literacy and numeracy gains, plus feedback for the PY 2018 OMS.

The first set of questions focuses mainly on the factors that have affected your center’s abilities to help students prepare to take an HSE test(s) adopted by your state (i.e., 2014 GED®, HiSETTM and/or TASCTM) and any HSE testing of students that your center has done or plans to do. You will only be required to respond to questions about HSE test(s) that are relevant to your center’s current HSE testing and future testing plans. The next set of questions is about HSD programs and requirements. These questions cover calendar year (CY) 2018 (January 1 – December 31, 2018), and also ask about any anticipated or planned changes through the end of program year (PY) 2018 (June 30, 2019) with the overall purpose of identifying HSD options currently offered to students plus any actual or planned changes during the remainder of PY 2018. The next set of questions focuses on HSD program versus HSE testing strategies. The subsequent section includes questions related to some additional factors that may impact centers’ HSE testing and HSE attainments (e.g., questions related to students who are Limited English Proficient, students with documented disabilities) as well as questions regarding barriers to literacy and numeracy gains. The final section focuses on obtaining feedback on various aspects of the PY 2018 OMS. In some cases, you may encounter pre-filled responses for questions based upon information obtained either through the last FVS completed or other more current sources of data.
