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.
This resource describes new reporting requirements and measurement changes to Part B State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR) Indicator 3. The resource offers a side-by-side comparison of the SPP/APR Part B indicator measurement tables for FFY 2019 and FFY 2020–2025 to highlight relevant differences in SPP/APR reporting of Indicator 3.
This resource provides a summary of findings from 28 states' publicly available LEA determinations processes. States can use this resource to learn more about the data elements, calculation methodologies, and determination category criteria these 28 states used for making LEA determinations. This information can be particularly valuable for those states considering revisions and updates to their own LEA determinations processes.
This practical planning tool helps states plan and report authentic, broad stakeholder engagement for the FFY 2020–2025 SPP/APR. Organized around 10 key questions, it supports clear, actionable planning and meaningful stakeholder input that informs decision-making and improves outcomes for students with disabilities and their families.
This is a spreadsheet application and accompanying user’s guide that aids states in their assessment of racial/ethnic disproportionality. It calculates several disproportionality measures, including risk, risk ratio, weighted risk ratio, alternate risk ratio, risk difference, composition, difference in composition, relative difference in composition, the E-formula, and variations of several of these measures for total disciplinary removals.
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.
This tool helps states assess whether their sampling plans meet OSEP requirements for Part B SPP/APR indicators. States can use sampling to improve data quality and target resources effectively, but must follow specific guidelines.
Created by IDC, this card is your handy reference to the Part B SPP/APR Indicators for the FFY 2019 SPP/APR and for the FFY2020-2025 SPP/APR. The front of the card includes the Part B Indicators, the back information about the SSIP Indicator B17.
Response rate and representativeness are crucial in surveys. This resource defines and compares these terms, explaining their relation to nonresponse bias and ensuring data validity and generalizability.
This toolkit helps SEAs and LEAs collect, report, analyze, and use preschool environments data. It includes IDEA 618 reporting materials, Indicator 6 resources, and tools for calculating and analyzing preschool data.
Our SPP/APR Data Display Toolkit helps SEA staff communicate complex data to stakeholders by creating user-friendly data visualizations, based on SPP/APR data the user enters. Many of the visualizations are dynamic and automatically update based on the data the user enters into the tool. States can easily transfer the visualizations to other programs to meet their reporting needs based on the audience, message, and purpose of the desired report or presentation they are preparing.
