Our Indicator 18 Calculation and Reporting Tool is designed to assist states with calculating and reporting Indicator 18. This indicator focuses on the state’s exercise of its general supervision responsibility to monitor its local education agencies (LEAs) for requirements under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) through the state’s reporting on timely correction of noncompliance (20 U.S.C. 1412(a)(11) and 1416(a); and 34 C.F.R. §§ 300.149, 300.600). This reporting tool has worksheets for the required compliance indicators and the corresponding related requirements, as well as a worksheet for all other findings that a state may want to report.
The Stakeholder Engagement Planning Process Tool is intended to guide states through developing and reporting on authentic and broad stakeholder engagement as required in the federal fiscal year (FFY) 2020–2025 SPP/APR. With this planning tool, users can create an actionable and sustainable plan to obtain ongoing, meaningful stakeholder feedback and input on decisionmaking and practices around improved outcomes for students with disabilities and their families.
This companion resource is designed to be used alongside the Part B SPP/APR Template to assist state education agency (SEA) staff in preparing, writing, and submitting a well-written and comprehensive SSIP.
This resource helps clarify the differences and similarities among SPP/APR Indicators 4A and 4B (significant discrepancy), Indicators 9 and 10 (disproportionate representation), and significant disproportionality. The included table enables users to compare key areas such as stakeholder engagement, reporting and data requirements, methodology, data sources, and reporting considerations for each of the three requirements.
Complex data displays got you down? Could your data displays do a better job communicating with stakeholders? IDC has answers. Our SPP/APR Data Display Toolkit will help you present the data from your SPP/APR to best support informed decision making. Use the toolkit’s 12 interactive Excel workbooks to meet IDEA reporting requirements and facilitate meaningful discussions with stakeholders, including the families of children with disabilities.
IDC developed the MOE/CEIS/CCEIS Data Elements Organizer to support states in streamlining the collection and coordination of data related to MOE/CEIS/CCEIS. The tool includes pre-populated fields such as file names, data groups, and legacy EMAPS IDs. Users can add key details like data sources, data stewards, and notes, making it easier than ever to manage and align data reporting efforts across agencies.
Our State Determinations of LEA Performance offers a clear, practical look at how 43 states conduct annual LEA determinations under IDEA. It breaks down the process—highlighting key data elements, scoring methods, and criteria used to categorize performance. Whether you're refining your current approach or building a new one with stakeholders, this resource delivers real-world examples and actionable insights to reimagining your LEA determinations processes.
