A two-part “National Evaluation Webinar” series conducted by NCSI, ECTA, IDC and OSEP. The webinars focused on evaluation planning in the context of the Phase II of the SSIP, OSEP Phase II requirements, development of a quality evaluation plan, and the process of moving from a theory of action to a logic model. Panelists included Gregg Corr (OSEP), Lou Danielson (NCSI), Tom Fiore (IDC), and Megan Vinh (ECTA).

The Part C State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report 2017 Indicator Analyses presents a national picture of the implementation of Part C of IDEA based on a review of information 56 states and jurisdictions (55 for Indicator 11) reported in their FFY 2015 APRs and amended state-submitted 2017 SPPs/APRs. For the purposes of the report, the term “state” is used for both states and jurisdictions. The report, which covers Part C Indicators 1 through 11, can be downloaded in Word format.

This Action Plan Template provides a format to assist states in developing their Phase II SSIP improvement and evaluation plan.

States can use the Excel spreadsheet application for calculating disproportionality measures and accompanying user's guide in their assessment of racial/ethnic disproportionality.

This data template provides SEAs and LEAs the opportunity to see in real-time the percentages of their children ages 3-5 attending and receiving services in specific educational environments. When the LEA 618 educational environments data is simply entered on the data tab, the percentages will be calculated and displayed on the percentage tab. The use of this tool will allow SEAs to compare the percentages of children within educational environments across LEAs.

Using the Part C 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 toolkit contains an overview of the toolkit, Data Collection Protocols, SPP/APR Indicator Protocols, a State Landscape Protocol, a Local EI Program Determinations Protocol, a Data Collections Calendar, and additional resources that provide a structure for documenting data processes. The Data Collection Protocols are in Word, and states can tailor them meet their states' specific documentation needs.
