OSEP requires SEAs to report data on the LEAs that use IDEA funds for either CEIS or CCEIS through the IDEA Part B Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Reduction, CEIS, and CCEIS data submission. The purpose of this resource is to provide examples of how SEAs and LEAs can accurately track the funds used for CEIS and CCEIS and track the children who receive those services.

This presentation focuses on the development of evaluation questions during SSIP evaluation planning.

The presentation offers guidance on assembling a team that is well equipped to complete the kind of evaluation states envision for their SSIP, including the types of skills and knowledge states will need represented on their evaluation teams.

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.

During this interactive role-alike workshop for SSIP Coordinators, the IDC Evaluation Team helped participants refine SSIP evaluation plans, identify action steps and timelines for implementing evaluation activities, and learn about resources that may be helpful in operationalizing their evaluation plans. For the 2016 Conference on Improving Data, Improving Outcomes held August 15-17, this workshop was conducted with an updated presentation and handout.
