PaPOS Timelines and Procedures

Administrative Considerations:

Timelines and Procedures 29

Post School Survey Collection Window No earlier than one year after the Cohort 1 student left school through no later than September 29, 2017

This shift better ensures that youth being surveyed have experienced one full year’s benefit of time and experience prior to responding to the 30 PA Post-School Outcomes Survey

15

2/13/2017

What does this look like? Graduated: June 5, 2016

Survey Window is June 6, 2017 – September 29, 2017

31

Administrative Considerations Complete the PaPOS Post-School Survey with all former leavers: No earlier than one year after the Cohort 1 student left school through no later than September 29, 2017

32

16

2/13/2017

Leader Services Collection Window Leaders Services online system opens on May 15, 2017 and closes on September 29, 2017

33

Administrative Considerations

The Post-School Survey should be administered in an interview fashion by an individual familiar with the student being interviewed.

34

If a student’s disability limits his/her ability to respond accurately to the survey questions, another individual can assist the student in answering the student survey questions. 34
