What is the difference between a goal and a countable outcome?
Countable outcomes are the stated goals of students who enroll in our programs. Through the Countable Outcomes policy, programs attempt to capture the major reasons that motivate students to enroll in ABE programs, in addition to increasing their basic skills in reading, writing, math, speaking, and listening. Countable outcomes include items such as attaining citizenship, getting a driver’s license, getting a job, helping children with homework, increasing income, or learning about health issues.
