  3. OVERVIEW UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (USDE), OFFICE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS (OSEP) has changed the way in which states must collect and report data from Local Education Agencies (LEA) • In preparation of the February 2015 State Performance Plan (SPP)/Annual Performance Report (APR) submission which will focus on student level accountability, states were issued a new state level profile • State Determinations were made based on the new accountability system

  4. Overview • Part B June 2014 determinations used both compliance and results data • Each contributed 50 percent to the calculation • Part B determinations were calculated using both a : • Compliance Matrix • Results Matrix containing 6 results elements

  5. National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) • Percentage of 4th grade students, with disabilities, excluded from the NAEP • Percentage of 8th grade students, with disabilities, excluded from the NAEP • Percentage of 4th graders scoring at basic or above in math and reading on the NAEP • Percentage of 8th graders scoring at basic or above in math and reading on the NAEP

  6. Regular Statewide Assessment • Percentage of students with disabilities participating in regular statewide assessment in 4th and 8th grade in math and reading • Percentage of students with disabilities participating in alternate assessment based on modified academic achievement • Proficiency gaps in 4th and 8th grade in math and reading

  7. Student Participation • Participation rates in statewide assessments are based on analysis of participation rates across all states, established 3 groupings: • At least 90% - 2 points • 81-89% - 1 point • 80% or less - zero

  8. Proficiency Gaps • For state assessment performance, states were rank ordered by proficiency gaps between students with disabilities and all students in both math and reading • Top 1/3 of states with smallest gaps – 2 points • Middle 1/3 – 1 point • Bottom 1/3 - zero

  9. Calculation of Determination • 2014 Results Percentage was calculated for each state based on the percentage of total possible points on results elements • A total RDA percentage was calculated for each state based on 50% compliance and 50% results • RDA percentage and special conditions factors were taken into account and states were placed in determinations categories.

  10. Determinations • Meets Requirements – at least 80% unless continuing special conditions from last 3 years • Needs Assistance – 60% to 79% or 80% or higher and special conditions • Needs Intervention – less than 60% • Needs Substantial Intervention – No states

  11. Current Determinations Part B – Compliance indicators only

  12. Current Determinations Part B – With QUALTIY indicators included

  13. what does this mean for the state of Oklahoma?

  14. The Future of Special Education Data in Oklahoma Over the next year, the SDE intends to review the processes in place for the collection and reporting of Special Education data. As data becomes increasingly important, the SDE would like to ensure that districts are properly prepared to fulfill the requirements that are placed upon them. In order to do this, several measures are currently in development, including: • Creation of a Data Boot Camp • Development of guidance for each report • Improving the usefulness of reports allowing districts to make more data driven decisions • Interfacing with the WAVE to decrease the amount of duplicated data entry

  15. District Data Profiles (DDP) • Data profiles show performance on the targets identified in the State Performance Plan (SSP). Districts are provided these profiles annually. • This year, SDE completed a review of the calculations that supply the numbers for the data profiles in order to improve transparency and understanding of the performance targets. This review helped SDE develop guidance for the district data profiles. This guidance will be sent to districts along with the DDP and is available on the SDE Special Education website under Data and Reporting: Part B. • DDP will be mailed to districts on Monday, October 27, 2014.

  16. In the meantime… OSDE-SES must issue DETERMINATIONS based on the District Data Profiles based on 4 levels as outlined in the General Supervision Manual: • Meets Requirements • Needs Assistance • Needs Intervention • Needs Substantial Intervention

  26. Assessments & accommodations

  27. Accommodations A critical part of teaching and assessing students with disabilities… is providing them with accommodations that support learning and that support their ability to show what they know and can do. • NICHY (2007). Assessment and Accommodations, Evidence for Education, V2, Issue 1, p. 1

  28. Accommodations • Practices and procedures that provide equitable access during instruction and assessment for students with disabilities • Intended to reduce or even eliminate the effects of a student’s disability • Do not reduce learning expectations • Must be consistent across classroom instruction, classroom assessments, district-wide assessments, and statewide assessments.

  29. Accommodations • Practices and procedures in the areas of: - Presentation - Response- Setting - Timing/Scheduling • Provide equitable access during instruction and assessments for students with disabilities.
