SPP/APR Target Setting Toolkit

We developed this series of eight Excel workbooks to help states as they set targets for their SPP/APR. Each tool presents five different target setting methodologies that states can use to develop, discuss, and, ultimately, set measurable and rigorous targets as required by IDEA.

Target Setting Made Actionable

Setting rigorous, measurable targets doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Whether you're refining existing goals or starting fresh, IDC’s SPP/APR Target Setting Toolkit helps you take action with confidence. The toolkit’s eight interactive Excel workbooks will guide you and your state through five proven methodologies for setting targets aligned with IDEA requirements. Each tool calculates and displays targets in easy-to-read tables and charts, including summary visuals you can copy and paste into presentations or reports.
