Adjusted levels of performance are the levels determined by adjusting the negotiated level of performance at the end of the program year to reflect actual participant characteristics and economic conditions for the local area, based on the re-estimation modeled by the local statistical adjustment model (LSAM) . Adjustment factor is a positive or negative difference that will be added to the negotiated level of performance to determine the adjusted level of performance. The adjustment factor is the difference between the estimated levels or performance predicted by the LSAM based on the preprogram year estimates and the levels of performance re-estimated by the LSAM after the close of the program year based on the actual participant characteristics and economic conditions. Expected levels of performance are the levels of performance proposed by the local area to DWD for each primary indicator of performance for each core program. Individual indicator score is the proportion of actual level of performance out of the adjusted level of performance for a single primary indicator of performance for a single program. Negotiated levels of performance are mutually agreed upon by the local area and DWD for each primary indicator of performance for each core program. Overall state indicator score is the average of the individual indicator scores for a single performance indicator across all core programs. Content Background Section 116 of WIOA established performance accountability measures that apply across the core programs to assess the effectiveness of the state and local areas in achieving positive outcomes for individuals served by WIOA programs.
