Purpose of this Module
The purpose of this training is to provide Youth
One Year Out (YOYO) Interviewers with
information regarding the purpose of the
YOYO and to assure that it is conducted in the
appropriate manner.
12
Anticipated Outcomes
YOYO Interviewers will understand :
1. what the YOYO is
2. why collecting post school outcome data is important
3. importance of their role in data collection
4. the role of the YOYO in the overall Kentucky Post School
Outcome Study (KyPSO)

6. different strategies to employ for students who may need
assistance in completing the YOYO
13
Being a
Youth One Year Out
Interviewer
14
Being a YOYO Interviewer is a Big
Responsibility
• You are collecting data that tells us about the post school outcomes of
former students with disabilities across Kentucky
• The information you collect will be compiled and reported to districts, the
state, and federal governments
• Important decisions will be made based on these reports and
recommendations.
• The information you obtain can helps future students be more successful
after high school. It may even help the very student you are talking with!
• Remember, you may be the last person from the school to ever speak with
this former student again! So, it is important to show the FS you care
about her/him and what is happening now that they are on their own.
15
Protecting Confidentiality
• As a YOYO Interviewer, you will be accessing
personal information about former students
• As a Youth One Year Out Interviewer you are
trusted with protecting the confidentiality of
the former students interviewed as well as the
information you obtain from them.
16
Protecting Confidentiality
Youth are protected by ensuring that all personal information about
them is confidential.
All paper and electronic information containing personally identifiable
information must not be available to anyone outside of school personnel
with designated access.
Never leave YOYO materials in a public place (e.g. leaving your computer
screen open to a former student interview).
Never allow unauthorized persons to look at them.
Notify your supervisor if you lose any confidential materials.
Never talk about who you interviewed or what they say.

Number H324S040002) with the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and
Rehabilitative Services.
17
Collecting This Data Will Help Us
Answer Questions Like These:
• For students who are successful, did school help and
how?
• For students who aren’t successful, was there
something school could have done
differently/better?
• What kinds of supports do young adults need most
after high school?
• What changes are needed to better support
students, families, schools, agencies?
18
19
The Kentucky Youth One Year Out (YOYO) is a
computer assisted telephone interview that collects
information about former students’ post school
outcomes
20
The YOYO is Data Collection Point 2 in the
Kentucky Post School Outcome Study
• Point 1: Kentucky In School Transition Survey
(KISTS) ~ gathers information from records
and students regarding student post school
plans
• Point 2: Kentucky Youth One Year Out (YOYO)
former student interview ~ gathers
information by way of telephone interview
about former students’ post school outcomes
21
Who Does the Youth One Year Out
(YOYO)?
• Every Local Education Agency (LEA) does the
YOYO, every year, on every student with an IEP
who exited school one year earlier.
• Therefore, in the spring of 2010, school
districts will follow up with students who
exited school in spring of 2009.
22
When is the Youth One Year Out Done?
• The YOYO is conducted from April 1st through
June 30th of every year.
• The YOYO must be completed by June 30, of
any given year.
23
Collecting Post School Outcome Data is a
Federal Requirement
The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP)
requires that all states follow up with former
students who had IEPs to determine:
“the percent of youth who had IEPs, are no longer in
secondary school and who have been competitively
employed, enrolled in some type of postsecondary
school, or both, within one year of leaving high
school (U.S. Department of Education, 2006a).”
Youth who had IEPs…
Includes any student with an IEP who exited
school last year by either
• Graduating with a diploma
• Completing with a Certificate of Attainment
• Aging Out
• Dropping Out

26
Who Conducts the YOYO Interview?
• The Director of Special Education (DOSE) for each
Local Education Agency (LEA) decides the
person(s) that will be responsible for conducting
the YOYO.
• If you are participating in this webinar, you have
been selected as the person responsible.
• If any other personnel assist you in completion of
the YOYO, they should go through the on-line
YOYO training module and complete the on-line
quiz.
27
What Happens After Data is Collected?
•KyPSO @ the Human Development
Institute (HDI)/University of Kentucky
(UK), conducts secondary data analysis.
•KyPSO compiles reports for KDE/DECS,
LEAs, parents, and other stakeholders.
28
Please Note!
• Even though conducting the YOYO, itself, is a federal
requirement, Former Student participation is strictly
voluntary.
• Should a Former Student choose not to be interviewed, thank
her/him for their time and hang up.
• Note, on the YOYO, what transpired.
29
30
Three Steps to Getting Ready
1). Inform Former Students That You Will Be
Contacting Them Two Weeks Prior to the
Phone Calls
2). Gather/Complete Pre-Interview Information
Before You Make the Telephone Call
3). Assure technical and time needs are met
31
1). Inform Former Students That You Will
Be Contacting Them
• Former Students (FS) should be informed of
the fact that you will be contacting them
approximately 2 weeks before you actually do.
• The easiest way to do this will be to send a
letter to the FS
• A sample of such a letter can be found at
www.kypso.org under “Tools for Data
Collection”
32
2). Gather/Complete information Before You
Make the Telephone Call….
Two steps to make the interviews go as smoothly as possible:
a). Have the following information available:
– Former students’ (FS) name
– FS 10 digit Unique Student Identifying Number (also known as the
number used for testing) This is a key piece of information .
– All FS contact information after high school information available
(e.g. phone number, e-mail, etc.).
b). Complete as much of the FS demographic information
(e.g. race, gender, manner which FS exited) as possible.
33
3). Assure technical and time needs are
met
• Computer with Internet access
• Telephone with speaker phone capability
• Approximately 30 minutes per interview
– this includes your preparation time as well as the actual interview
itself
• Quiet area as free of distraction as possible
– you may want to post a sign on the door of the office/area you are
using notifying people of telephone interviews in progress
34
Where to Get Pre-Interview Information
• The Kentucky In School Transition Survey (KiSTS):
– FS should have completed the KISTS during their final year of school
(one year ago)
– KISTS will provide you with Student Contact Information After High
School
– Important to find out who was responsible, (if it was not yourself) at
your school, for conducting the KISTS last year. This person should be
able to direct you to the KISTS Student Contact Information After High
School
35
Where to Get Pre-Interview Information
• Infinite Campus
• Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) Exit
Data
• Your School District’s Central Office
• A good contact for this pre-interview
information may be your school district’s
Infinite Campus (IC) Coordinator
36
37
Which Former Students Must Be
Interviewed?
•Students, with IEPs, who exited the previous
school year
•These include students with IEPs who left school by
way of:
•a standard diploma
•a certificate of attainment
•aging out
•dropping out
38
Conduct the Interviews in as Quiet an
Area, as Free of Distraction as Possible
You may want to post a sign on the door of the
office/area you are using notifying people that
you are conducting telephone interviews
Shhhh…Telephone Interviews in Progress!
39
What if an interview cannot be completed
during one telephone call?
• There may be times when you will not be able to complete a
YOYO interview in on sitting
• For example, you may be 5 or 6 questions into the interview
and the FS suddenly says they have to get off of the
telephone, can you call back?
• Therefore, at the bottom of every page of the YOYO, you will
see a “Save” button
• You may save an interview, at any point, and then return to
complete it later
40
Contacting the Former
Student
41
How Many Times Should I try to
Contact Former Students?
Attempt to contact the Former Student (FS) 3 times
• Start by contacting the FS at the home telephone
number(s) provided on the KISTS Contact Information
sheet.
• If you cannot reach the FS at the home telephone
number, attempt to contact the student via her/his cell
phone number, if provided.
• If you are unable to reach the FS via telephone, you
may e-mail the FS
42
Keep Track of Where You Are with Your
Interviews
• It probably will not be possible to contact and
interview all former students in one session
• Therefore, you will need to keep track of
where you are with your interviews in terms
of former students who:
– Have been contacted and interviewed
– Have been contacted but requested to be
interviewed at another time
– Have been contacted and refused the interview
– You were unable to contact
43
Keeping Track of Interviews
This is an example of how you might keep track of where you are with
your interviews….

E-mailing the Former Student
If you are unable to contact the Former Student (FS) via a cell phone number, email the student (if an e-mail address has been provided) using the following
content:
Dear __________________________ :
Name of Former Student
We are conducting a telephone interview of students who finished high school last
year. We are conducting the interview to see how you are doing and to see if there
are school programs/services that you feel helped you after you left high school.
All of your responses will be kept private/confidential.
If you would like to participate in this interview, please respond to this e-mail and
provide a telephone number at which you may be reached.
Thank you.
Sincerely:
Interviewers’ Name
45
When to Call?
Ideally, interviews would be conducted at a time when the former student(s)
is most likely to be at home:
• Week-day evenings, between 5:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
• Week-end
Times to avoid:
• Before 9:00 in the morning
• After 9:00 at night.
• As a last resort, try early morning or late evening calls.
46
When to Call?
• Unfortunately, the times when former students are most likely to be
available for a telephone interview do not coincide with school personnel
work hours
• Therefore, if an Interviewer is unable to make arrangements with their
district to conduct the interviews during these hours, the Interviewer will
need to conduct them whenever possible throughout the typical work day
• Try to call at a time when you know, as an Interviewer, you are least likely
to be interrupted.
• Remember to allow approximately 30 minutes to conduct each interview.
Even though we hope it will only take 15 to 20, this will allow a time
cushion should you have a FS who has a lot of questions and/or answers in
depth.
47
Getting an answering machine
If you get an answering machine, use the following
script:
Hello, this is ____________________calling from
___________school. I am calling for Former Student Name. I
want to know if you would like to participate in an interview
we are conducting with former students to see how things are
going. You can return my call at__________. I will also try to
call you at another time. Thank you.
48
What if There is No Answer?
• If you discover a number is disconnected or no longer reaches
the Former Student (FS), try alternate numbers.
• You may also have an e-mail address for the student
• No matter what the result, indicate on the YOYO what
happened.
49
How Will Former Students without
Telephones be Included?
It is important to ensure that all those identified have the
opportunity to respond. Here are some effective strategies:
•
•
•
•
Utilize a lap-top computer to facilitate meeting the former student and/or their
family at their home or in the community.
Ask the former student and or their family to come into school to complete the
interview.
Send a local or toll-free number to use to call in when they are at a place with a
phone and tell them what days and hours to call.
If they are known to attend day programming, attempt to contact them there.

Rehabilitative Services.
50
What if the Former Student Cannot Be
Located/Contacted?
It may be difficult to contact former students
– They may have moved
– They may not have a telephone
– They may not wish to be contacted
If you cannot contact the former student after 3
attempts, note this on the YOYO and move on
51
Making the Call
52
Once someone answers
• Expect they will probably think you are trying to sell them
something and may hang up.
– Quickly and politely explain who you are and why you are
calling. An Interviewer Introduction script is included at
the very beginning of the YOYO.
• Remember, your call will often be an interruption.
– If necessary, provide a chance to set up an appointment
where you can call back at a time more convenient for the
Former Student (FS).

Outcomes Center, Eugene, Oregon, (funded by Cooperative Agreement Number H324S040002) with the U.S.
Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.
53
Using Speaker Phone
• It may be easier to input responses on the YOYO if
you have the Former Student (FS) on speaker phone.
• If this is the case, you will need to assure that you are
conducting the interview in an area where it will not
be overheard.
54
Using Speaker Phone
Once you assure that you are in an area in which the
interview will not be overheard…
• Ask FS if it is o.k. to put him/her on speaker phone
• Assure FS that the interview cannot be overheard
55
What Can I Say to Encourage
Participation?
• Inform the Former Student (FS) that the survey is voluntary.
• Inform FS that they can refuse to answer any particular question.
• Assure Former Student (FS) that the survey is important to their school district and
the state.
• Assure FS that what they say is protected and will be kept private and confidential.
• Explain that their name won’t appear in any report and that their responses will be
combined with many other surveys.
• Inform the FS that they can have someone help them answer any part or all of the
interview.

Services.
56
Interviewer Introduction Script
•
•
•
•
•
•
Hello my name is_________ and I am a ________ at _________school.
You may recall receiving a letter from us regarding the fact that we would be contacting you as part of our
follow-up of former students.
The purpose of this follow-up interview is to help us identify programs and practices that may have helped
you get a job or enroll in college or training since leaving high school.
The interview should take approximately 15-20 minutes of your time.
If you decide to participate, you can skip any question or end the interview at any time.
All of your responses will be strictly confidential and no identifiable information will be on this interview.
Will you answer a few questions about what you (or your son/daughter) are doing now?
•
•
If "Yes":
SAY: "Thank you very much. Is this a good time to talk…do you have about 30 minutes right now?”
If “Yes”:
SAY: “Great. If you don't want to answer a question just say "skip that one. If you don’t understand
something, just let me know“. Proceed with the questions.
If "No, this is not a good time”
SAY:"O.K., what time would work best for you?” Proceed to schedule appointment to re-contact FS
•
•
If “No, I do not want to participate”
SAY: “ O.k., thank you for your time"
IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT EXIT (EVEN IF INTERVIEW WAS DECLINED) WITHOUT ANSWERING QUESTION
#8, BELOW.
57
If I Cannot Interview the Former Student, Can I
Interview Someone Else?
• Interview the Former Student (FS) whenever possible.
• However, because of the types of questions asked, it is acceptable to
interview the parents, or guardians, of a FS.
• Occasionally the FS’s disability makes participating in a phone survey
difficult.
• It is sometimes effective to have the Former Student (FS) on one phone
and their representative (often a parent) on another.
• If this is not enough of an accommodation, it may be necessary to
interview someone else.

Outcomes Center, Eugene, Oregon, (funded by Cooperative Agreement Number H324S040002) with the U.S. Department of
Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.
58
If I Cannot Interview the Former Student,
Can I Interview Someone Else?
• Ideally, the former student will tell you who they
want to speak for them.
• It is helpful to ask who usually speaks with and for
the former student.
• Please Note! It is not the parent/guardian opinion
that we want, it is the parent/guardian
understanding of the FS’s opinions that we want.

Rehabilitative Services.
59
Former Students Who Need
Accommodation to Participate
• Prior to calling the former student (FS), the Interviewer should
review the FS’s final Individual Education Program (IEP) to
determine if this FS will need accommodation and what that
accommodation may be.
• Knowing which respondents were eligible for the statewide
Alternate Assessment can also help identify those most likely
to need accommodation.
• .

Services.
60
Please note
• Only certain school personnel have access to
student IEPs.
• Make certain your Director of Special
Education (DOSE) knows that you may need
information from former student (FS) IEPs in
order to conduct the YOYO.
61
Former Students Who Need
Accommodation to Participate
• You may not find out what accommodation a former
student may need to participate in the interview
until you call.
• These calls can be awkward…go slowly, apologize as
appropriate, and try to determine who the best
representative will be (e.g. “is there someone else I
might speak with?”).
• You may eventually call the home of a youth with a
disability who needs assistance with almost every
aspect of their lives.

Outcomes Center, Eugene, Oregon, (funded by Cooperative Agreement Number H324S040002) with the U.S.
Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.
62
Be Sensitive and Listen to Youth
Some Former Students (FS) who respond to the survey may become upset
during the survey
– You ask if they are working, which they desperately want to do, but have not
been able to find a job or get the help they need.
– It is understandable that they might be very upset by the question.
– This rarely happens, but if it does, it may be necessary to stop the interview,
talk with them until they calm down, and then end the call and note why.

Post-School Outcomes Center, Eugene, Oregon, (funded by Cooperative Agreement Number
H324S040002) with the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative
Services.
63
Be Sensitive and Listen to Parents
Asking questions about their son/daughters life can also be very upsetting to
a parent who is reminded, by the questions, of things their child may
never do.
– Be sensitive and listen.
– Explain that the same survey questions are asked of everyone, and that the
accomplishments of their child, no matter how modest, are valued.

64
Rehabilitative Services.
How do I know which questions to ask?
• Not only is it important to ask questions as they are written, but that you
ask them in the correct order.
• Interviews have a prescribed sequence that changes based upon the
responses given.
• These changes are called “skip patterns” or “question branching.”
• For example, if you ask the FS “are you working now?” and the FS
responds that she is not working, the YOYO will automatically take you to
additional questions whose aim is to find out what she is doing (e.g.
volunteering, home maker, religious duties, etc.)
• However, if the FS responds that she is working, the YOYO will
automatically take you to additional questions whose aim is to find out
more about the FS’s work (e.g. pay, benefits, etc.).

Outcomes Center, Eugene, Oregon, (funded by Cooperative Agreement Number H324S040002) with the U.S.
65
Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.
Be Accurate & Consistent
• While you want to make sure to use a conversational tone,
it is still important that questions are phrased to student
exactly as written every time.
• If you must rephrase a question for student to understand,
preserve the neutral character of the original question.
• For example the question “are you working now?”
• non-neutral rephrasing…”You still have the job down at
the hardware store, don’t you?”
• neutral rephrasing…”Do you have a job now?”

Rehabilitative Services.
66
What Should I Do if I Think They have Misunderstood
a Question or the Responses Available?
There are questions you can ask to help clarify responses. These
are called “probes.”
• Examples of probes:
– “Can you be a little more specific?”
– “I’m not sure I am entirely clear about what you mean. Could you
explain it a little more?”
– “Could I read back what I have written to be sure I have understood
exactly what you wanted to say?”
– “Could I reread the question and the answer I’ve written down just to
be sure I have gotten everything you wanted to say?”
– “I think I may not have read the question correctly, so may I read it to
you again to be sure?”

67
Deciding Which Response to Select
• As an Interviewer, you will need to make some
important decisions regarding FS responses.
• For example, if the YOYO question instructs “DO NOT
READ CATEGORIES. CODE ALL THAT APPLY”, you will
need to make a decision, based upon the former
students’ response, regarding the appropriate
response to mark.
68
Question Examples
69
Interviewer Instructions
• You will note that the YOYO has Interviewer instructions
embedded throughout.
• Examples of these included:
– “IF RESPONDENT IS NOT FORTHCOMING, YOU MAY READ
CATEGORIES. CODE ONLY ONE RESPONSE.”
– “DO NOT READ CATEGORIES. CODE ALL THAT APPLY.”
70
Question Example
If you would like to work more, why aren't you?
(DO NOT READ CATEGORIES. CODE ONLY ONE RESPONSE).
You ask the FS the question and his response is “I have been sick”
This response is fairly easy to categorize. The correct choice is the first possible
response:
• My health will not allow it
• My boss won't give me more hours
• It would effect my SSI benefits
• Scheduling issues
• Don't Know
• Refused
• Other (please specify)
71
Using the “Other” Text Box
• As you go through the YOYO, you will see that almost
every question has an “Other” Text Box as a possible
response
• The “Other” Text Box allows you to enter the former
students’ exact response (e.g. Use the “Other” Text
Box when you are uncertain of how to categorize a
former student response).
72
Question Example
What might have helped you stay in school?
(DO NOT READ CATEGORIES. CODE ALL THAT APPLY).
FS Response: “If school was closer to my house”
This response is difficult to categorize. The correct choice is to use the “Other” Text
Box to type in the FS exact response “If school was closer to my house”
•
•
•
•
•
More flexible hours
More relevant classes/courses (e.g. classes that would help me in real life)
Teachers/Counselors who encouraged me
Refused
Other (please specify) “If school was closer to my house”
73
Scaled Questions
• A “scaled question” is one that asks the former
student to rate their experience using a range of
numbers and response choices
• Some FS may not be familiar with scaled questions
• As the Interviewer, you may need to explain how to
use the scale to the Former Student (FS)
74
Question Example
On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being hate my job and 5 being love my job,
how much do you like your job?
(READ EACH CATEGORY. CODE ONLY ONE RESPONSE).
1- Hate my job
2- Dislike my job
3- Somewhat like my job
4- Like my job
5- Love my job
After reading the question, the Interviewer may say “So, for this question, I am going
to read you the possible choices and you tell me which one you choose. So, “how
much do you like your job?...1 - I hate my job; PAUSE IN BETWEEN EACH RESPONSE
CHOICE 2 - I dislike my job; 3 - I somewhat like my job”; 5 - I love my job”?
You may also substitute the word “I” for “You” if this helps student understanding (e.g.
“You hate your job”, “You dislike your job”, and so on).
75
Practicing the YOYO
• It is important that responses to each question are coded the
same way by every Interviewer.
• Be familiar with each question’s response codes.
• Practice using the YOYO by asking questions and recording
responses.
• In order to provide you with the opportunity to “try it out”, a
Practice Youth One Year Out is available at www.kypso.org
• The Practice YOYO does not accumulate data entered so you
can go through it and try out as many different responses, as
many times, as you like.
