Guides. Briefs. Toolkits. Quick reference information. IDC and its partners created these data quality resources to help states better prepare to address their existing or emerging IDEA data.
What do we mean when we talk about high-quality data? What defines such data and separates them from lower-quality data? Use this resource to help you think about your own data and what you might do to improve them.
CIFR’s quick reference guides are intended to assist states and other stakeholders in better understanding the basics of fiscal reporting requirements set forth in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The guides may be developed in collaboration with other national technical assistance centers.
States will find our IDEA Assessment Data Display Tool for SPP/APR Indicator 3 a great help as they prepare SEA-level data for submission via EDPass. This resource will help them to see how data may appear in the SPP/APR. States can review their current year's data for Indicators 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D using EDFacts files FS175, FS178, FS185, and FS188.
This white paper focuses on the relationship between SSIP Phases I and II by demonstrating how the theory of action can be used to develop the SSIP evaluation plan and performance indicators that measure progress toward the SIMR.
This resource was designed to help users unpack Part B SPP/APR Indicator 3D results to help improve outcomes for all children with IEPs.
This companion resource is designed to be used alongside the Part B SPP/APR Template to assist state education agency (SEA) staff in preparing, writing, and submitting a well-written and comprehensive SSIP.
This suite of four resources can help states navigate the long and complicated process related to Part B Indicator 3 data. The process begins when a student is registered as a test-taker in a state assessment system and ends with public reporting via the State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR).
States can use the Organizer Template for Part B SPP/APR Target Setting to briefly document information for consideration when setting new SPP/APR targets for all indicators in the FFYs 2020-25 SPP/APR collection.
Using the SEA IDEA Data Processes Toolkit to document data processes for all 616 and 618 data collections will establish a well-managed process for data collection, validation, and submission. In collaboration with IDC State Liaisons, states can use the toolkit to create and maintain a culture of high-quality data and establish and support consistent practices that produce valid and reliable data, while building the capacity of state staff.
The LEA Data Processes Toolkit is a collection of templates to document all state-level IDEA data collection and reporting procedures and activities. Using this toolkit to create protocols for all data collections will establish a well-managed process for data collection, analysis, and reporting. States can use the toolkit to establish and support consistent practices that produce valid and reliable data, build the capacity of data stewards, and create and maintain a culture of high-quality data.
