Preschool Special Education Emis data pointsCommon errors
Common Errors A child’s IEP must be in effect as of December 1
How Received August 2010
Common Errors • Districts not reporting children on itinerant services as “no classroom” • District of residence not reporting preschool children on the special education record • Ensuring that the IEP date is current as of December 1
5 year olds include those in kindergarten Federal reporting for PSE = any child age 3, 4, or 5 as of December 1 State rules = a 5-year old in kindergarten is considered school-age
October Report Unit funding
Common Errors • A child’s IEP must be in effect as of December 1 • To count towards unit funding • Otherwise child will be counted in the columns for nondisabled peers and funding may be reduced
Common Errors • Staff with percent of time in preschool (assignment 99412) • Connecting children to teachers • Combination teachers who do both centerbased and itinerant are reported more than once
Unit Report • Three sections to check regularly to correct errors • Teachers • Related Services • Summary Name change from ECE Units to PSE Units report expected
Unit Report • Teacher section • Teachers • Centerbased and/or itinerant • Children by age and percent of time (50% or 100%) • Nondisabled peers • Age 6 as of 12/1 • Error messages
Summary Section Maximum funding is the allocation May provide service but no unit funds to support Psych units based on number of children with an 11 code Number of units allocated but not funded- loss of potential revenue Supervisor Units based on number of allocated/funded classrooms
Indicator 6 in the State Performance Plan Preschool LRE
EC Setting • At least 50% of the enrollment in the classroom are nondisabled • ECE Entitlement • Head Start • Child Care • Team Teaching • Children with IEPs may be on one teacher’s roster but a class within a class = EC Setting
Preschool LRE • Class Composition • Number of children on IEPs and number of children not on IEPs • Facility • Residential • Home • Service provider location • Point in time= 12/1
LRE Changes for 2010-2011 Eliminates percent of time in ECE setting Child receives special education and related services in this setting Child is in EC setting 10 hours or more per week Child does not receive special education and related services in this setting Child receives special education and related services in this setting Child is in EC setting less than 10 hours per week Child does not receive special education and related services in this setting

Outcome 2: Acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/communication and early literacy)
How confident are you that our ECOSF data reported to ODE is accurate, reliable and valid? ONLY 35%
Three year cycle for ECO • Because the baseline summary statements are based upon a child’s progress from entry to exit • For the school year 2008-2009, 3,221 children had six months to two years of service. • For 2009-2010, and every year hereafter, results will include children who have had six months to three years of service. • As entry-to-exit service can span 3 years, it takes 3 years to cycle out inaccurate data
Common Errors-Accuracy Checks • There are 3 ratings (E, K T) • Each outcome has a rating. • October • Yearend • Each outcome has “yes” or “no” recorded for progress. • NA would apply only to initial entry ratings. • Exit date is after entry date. • Impossible combinations.
Indicator 12 Transition from c to b
SSID- for tracking C to B Transition NEW! • Children exiting Help Me Grow will have an SSID assigned • Local quarterly reports from Help Me Grow will have the SSID • Check data to avoid duplicates
Special Ed Record • Preschool Transition Conference (PSTC)= Trigger • PSTC = Referral • Evaluation = Eligible • IEP implemented by 3rd birthday • Reasons noted if not by 3rd birthday • Parent choice • Parent refusal
Special Ed Record • Preschool Transition Conference (PSTC)= Trigger • If a PR01 indicates there is no suspected disability, the child should be reported in the aggregate and not have a special education record in EMIS
