| Program Goal: To challenge students who are deaf, graduate students who are deaf, and graduate students who are hearing, to achieve their academic goals and obtain productive employment, provide leadership in setting the national standard for best practices in education of the deaf and hard of hearing, and establish a sustainable resource base. |
| Objective 1 of 3: The University Programs and the Model Secondary School for the Deaf and the Kendall Demonstration Elementary School will optimize the number of students completing programs of study. |
| Indicator 1.1 of 3: Enrollment at Gallaudet University: Maintain minimum enrollment numbers in Gallaudet's undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies programs, as well as the Model Secondary School for the Deaf and the Kendall Demonstration Elementary School as established by Gallaudet University. |
Source: Collegiate Office of Enrollment Services, and Clerc Center student database, FY 2005 enrollment as of October 2004, summarized in Gallaudet's FY 2004 annual report, submitted in 2005. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Data Validated By: No Formal Verification. Explanation: To improve the accuracy of student count information the University implemented a new calculation method for determining enrollment. Under the method of calculation a degree-seeking student or graduate student who is also enrolled in a Professional Studies Course is only counted once. This new method will be closely monitored to ascertain its validity. The university enrollment targets for 2005 were exceeded for professional studies, but not met for undergraduate or graduate. The Clerc Center targets were not met for MSSD, but exceeded for Kendall Elementary. |

| Indicator 1.2 of 3: Student retention rate: Increase the undergraduate retention rate and increase or maintain the graduate student retention rate. |
Source: Collegiate Office of the Register records, summarized in the FY 2004 annual report, submitted in 2005. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Explanation: The 2005 target for University undergraduates was not met; the graduate target was exceeded. |

| Indicator 1.3 of 3: Student graduation rates: By 2008, the undergraduate graduation rate will reach 48 percent; the graduate student and Model Secondary School student graduation rates will be increased or maintained. |
Source: Collegiate Office of the Registrar and the Clerc Center Office of Exemplary Programs and Research records, summarized in FY 2004 annual report, submitted in 2005. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Limitations: The Clerc Center (MSSD) graduation rates reported here give an incomplete picture of the graduation status of seniors from fiscal year 2001 onward. There is a need to reconceptualize how performance is assessed to make this indicator a more valid reflection of actual graduation rates. Graduation from MSSD is more than completion of required course work. Graduation signals that students have successfully met their IEP goals, so that graduation becomes an IEP decision. Students may graduate at the end of their senior year, or they may make the decision, as part of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process, to change their graduation so they may continue to pursue their IEP goals, or they may elect to take the fifth year option. Clerc Center personnel are currently in the process of redefining graduation outcomes and indicators at MSSD to reflect progress through school and changes in graduation requirements and program options. The Clerc Center will work with the Department in an effort to propose a revised indicator(s) and performance measure(s) to better show MSSD graduation rates. Explanation: The undergraduate graduation rates are calculated as the number of graduates in one year over the number of entering students six years previously. The undergraduate target was not met, yet the rate has been holding steady for the past 4 years. The graduate target was exceeded. In fiscal year 2004, 71 percent of the Model School seniors completed all graduation requirements by the end of their senior year. An additional 11 students deferred graduation until 2005 in order to complete graduation requirements and IEP goals. Therefore, the total graduation rate for the fiscal year 2004 senior class has been revised to 87 percent, which did not meet the target. For FY 2005, 36 students graduated and 11 elected to return as 2nd-year seniors (to graduate in June 2006). Therefore the 2005 figure is preliminary, depending the results for the 11 2nd-year seniors. |

| Objective 2 of 3: Gallaudet works in partnership with others to develop and disseminate educational programs and materials for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. |
| Indicator 2.1 of 1: Use of the Demonstration Schools' expertise: Other programs and/or institutions adopting innovative curricula and other products, or modifying their strategies as a result of Model and Kendall's leadership, will be maintained or increased. |
Source: Records of the Clerc Center Office of Training and Professional Development, summarized in the FY 2004 Annual Report. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Explanation: The number of new programs adopting innovations from year to year will vary and depends in part on the number and type of strategies and curricula being disseminated by the Clerc Center and the financial and personnel resources available within other programs for training and implementation activities. The FY 2005 target was exceeded. |

| Objective 3 of 3: Curriculum and extracurricular activities prepare students to meet the skill requirements of the workplace or to continue their studies. |
| Indicator 3.1 of 2: Employment and advanced studies opportunities at the University: Gallaudet's bachelor's graduates will either find employment commensurate with their training and education or attend advanced education or training programs during their first year after graduation. |
Source: University study on the status of graduates' employment and advanced studies Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Explanation: Gallaudet disaggregated this indicator to reflect the number of students who are employed (full or part time) and those in advanced education (master's or Ph.D. program) or training (vocational or technical program, or another type of program, e.g., law school or medical school) programs. The annual percentages may exceed 100 percent because some respondents were both employed and enrolled in advance education or training in the same year. Neither 2005 target was met. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Indicator 3.2 of 2: Employment and advanced studies opportunities at the Model Secondary School: A high percentage of the Model Secondary School graduates will either find jobs commensurate with their training or will attend postsecondary programs. |
Source: Clerc Center Exemplary Programs and Research. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: October 2006 Explanation: The 2005 target was exceeded, and the performance held steady for a second year. |
