IDEA allows, and sometimes requires, LEAs to use funds provided under IDEA Part B for CEIS students not identified for and receiving special education and related services. There are multiple data collection and reporting requirements associated with use of these funds for CEIS. IDC staff reviewed and led a discussion on how a diverse subset of states and their LEAs are working to meet those requirements.

Participants engaged in focused discussions with members of IDC's Workgroup on Educational Environments - Online Learning. Workgroup members presented a snapshot of policies on online learning. They also presented a preliminary analysis on data collection and reporting practices in relation to IDEA educational environments from states reporting students with disabilities enrolled in online learning courses. Participants engaged in an interactive discussion on similarities, differences, and needs of practices within their own states.

This presentation provides guidance on the evaluation of SSIP by differentiating between evaluating implementation and impact and reviews possible measures of progress toward achieving the SIMR. Participants discussed and provided input into development of an IDC white paper on the topic. Currently, the white paper is in draft form and undergoing revisions based on input from the field. The published paper will be posted to the IDC Resource Library and affiliated as a related resource to the handout already posted for this session.

This presentation focuses on the role that developing a logic model has in overall SSIP evaluation planning.

The presentation examines the reasons why states would change baselines or targets for their SSIPs. Topics addressed include changes in assessments, data collection methods, and data quality. Participants discussed and provided input into an  IDC white paper on the topic. Currently, the white paper is in draft form and undergoing revisions based on input from the field. The published paper will be posted to the IDC Resource Library and affiliated as a related resource to the handout already posted for this session.

The presentation offers information about how the DaSy Data System Framework supports stakeholder engagement as a component of high-quality Part C and Section 619 data systems. A helpful handout is included.

Growth models provide states with an option for determining how to measure progress toward a student level SIMR outcome. Participants discussed and provided input into development of an IDC white paper that focuses on different growth model approaches, the data requirements, and analytic approach in order to use a growth model approach to measure growth toward a SIMR student outcome. Currently, the white papers is in draft form and undergoing revisions based on input from the field. The published paper will be posted to the IDC Resource Library and affiliated as a related resource to the handouts already posted for this session.
