What are we doing to improve Child Outcome data? • New process for working with school districts to review Child Outcomes data • Revised Child Outcomes manual • Identify missing children who are not being entered in system • Communicate the COSF Process - provide ongoing training for completing COSF using multi-sources of information • Question unusual data • Troubleshoot problems
What are we doing to improve Child Outcome data? • Provide professional development opportunities with Part B and C • Analyze teaming procedures for completing COSF using multi-sources of information • Encourage school districts to discuss and practice COSF process at staff meetings • Early Learning Foundations Child Outcomes crosswalk
Results of theData Review Process • Site visits and webinars helped programs to answer the progress question correctly, which in turn, reduced the number of invalid OSEP scores from the year before (2010). • When Progress question was answered incorrectly it was revised when inappropriately answered with a “N”. This decreased the number of Invalid OSEP scores. • Found “regular” education students who were counted. • Programs found missing students (approximately two dozen). • Programs found that students had only 1 assessment entered in the system when they should have had more. The typical scenario is that the child would have the exit entered but not the initial.
Data Review Process Lessons Learned • Districts lose access to enter/revise outcomes data once the child moves from building to building. This can be within same district or across districts. • Need to make sure COSF goes with child if they move to another building or district to ensure the following: • Child is not given more than 1 initial assessment. • District that is receiving the child has the information to help with services that will be provided to child.
