  10. Indicator #7

  11. Indicator 7 Percent of preschool children with IEPs who demonstrate improved: • Positive social-emotional skills (including social relationships) • Acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/communication and early literacy) • Use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs

  12. Beginning July 1, 2011 Indicator 7 is now an annual data collection: • No longer associated with the Procedural Compliance Self-Assessment Cycle. New definition of Entry Date : • Changes to Projected IEP Implementation Date (formerly Initial Placement Signature Date).

  13. Indicator 7 Process

  14. Indicator 7 • Rating the status of child’s functioning at entry and again at exit • Comparing child’s functioning to what is expected at his/her age

  15. Child Outcome Summary Form (COSF)

  16. Tips for Reporting Entry Data • An IEP team should determine the entry ratings for 3 outcome areas • Entry ratings should be reported 60 days prior to the child’s projected IEP implementation date

  17. Tips for Reporting Entry Data: Using Birth to 3 Exit Ratings • Districts may choose to use the B-3 Exit Rating as the LEA Entry Rating. • The ratings can be found on PPS (Additional Information). • Best practice is to develop system of communication between B-3 & LEA regarding exchange of Child Outcomes information.

  18. Tips for Reporting Exit Data • An IEP team and/or group should determine exit ratings for all 3 outcome areas • Exit ratings should be reported within 30 days after: • Child exits ECSE • Child transfers to another LEA • Child turns 6 years old

  19. LEA Tips for Entry and Exit Ratings • Any children (age 3-5) with initial IEPs will have entry and exit ratings. • Exceptions: • Children with less than 6 months of service • Children who transfer from another LEA and IEP is adopted

  20. LEA Tips for Internal System • Set up a “colored folder” system. • Identify a staff person who will monitor the Child Outcomes “system” on a monthly basis. • Identify a day of the month that child outcomes data is reported. • Set up a process for training new staff on the Child Outcomes process and procedures.
