This technical assistance document focuses on helping SEAs and LEAs better understand voluntary CEIS and its reporting requirements. It also provides examples of various data collection and reporting methods states use to collect and report voluntary CEIS 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.
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.
