  1. What’s New with Special Education Data? (…and Reminders for what is not new!)

  2. We still have… • The Office of Special Education (OSEP) Tables • Table 1 – Child Count (last Fri. October) • Table 2 – Special Education Personnel (December) • Table 3 – Environments (last Friday in October) • Table 4 – Exits (Final pull – Oct 1 for 08/09) • Table 5 – Discipline (Final pull – Oct 1 for 08/09) • Table 6 – Academic achievement (Feb 1 – Annual Report) • Table 7 – Due Process (DPA completes – Nov. 1) And now we also have: • Table 8 - Early Intervention(Coming Attraction)

  3. We have a better way to report!! • NASIS!! • Steps: • Find student (left panel) • Click on most recent enrollment • Find the BIE enrollment section • Enter special education status • 1 if not now or ever special education • 2 if referred – must complete assessment within 60 days of permission • 3 receiving services • 4 exited from services – complete reason and date • Enter primary disability • Enter special education setting

  4. More NASIS • Make sure all other information is correct • Discipline with incidences, resolutions and dates as needed • Complete Exit data • Homeless checked if appropriate • Limited English Proficiency data • Graduation data if appropriate • All other basic data is correct • For Spring 2010 graduates data will be from NASIS

  5. NEW - Early Intervention • On the BIE enrollment tab • Put a check in the Intervening Services box if • You are using special education dollars to provide services • Table 8 will require reporting this information

  6. NEW – High Quality Teachers • Enter High Quality Teacher (HQT) information into NASIS • Will be found under census • School must keep paper record of qualifications • Teacher must meet the HQT requirements for teaching the class to which they are assigned

  7. Forms in NASIS • IEP forms now on NASIS – yea!!! • Please complete the forms as indicated • Forms are data entry points • Work with system administration to make sure right people have right level of access • Remember confidentiality – few people will need this access

  8. Right Now… Discipline Exits No longer receives services Transferred – proof ( end grade a school) Dropped out Graduated Certificate Maximum age Died • ‘618’ regulations • Remove to an Interim Alternative Education Setting • Suspensions / expulsions • By gender and ethnicity

  9. Why do we do all this? Basic student roster Federal Reporting requirements Funds distribution ISEP Titles Part B Most Important: To give guidance for instructional planning

  10. Trends over time… School Year Number of students with IEPs 7,998 7,465 6,918 7,057 6,724 • 2004-2005 • 2005-2006 • 2006-2007 • 2007-2008 • 2008-2009

  11. Enrollment

  12. Where are these students served?

  13. Think About • Where are students served at your school • What impact would the total number have on the year to year change in % • Things to consider when determining service LRE • Individual needs • Limiting amount of time away from peers but also meeting special education needs • How can time in regular classroom be increased without denying services

  14. Graph 1. Graduation Two Year Trend:

  15. Graduation Rate..Why Different? • BIE moved to the Cohort concept all states must use. • Last year - first attempt at verifying the data • Next data year data will be taken from NASIS GOAL: • To reduce gap between the all students category and the SWD category • Formula: _____#_graduates___________ 9thgrd (fall 4 yrs prev.) + (trans. in 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th) – (trans. out +decea.)
