2011-2012 Overview 17 • Three Workbooks • August 15 • December 15 • April 15 • Three focused monitoring cycles • Three central themes
2011-2012 Overview - FM • Fall FM cycle • Significant disproportionality • B-9/B-10 (Disproportionate Representation – over and under) • FAPE (free and appropriate public education) • Findings issued in December 15, 2011 Workbook 18
2011-2012 Overview – FM (cont.) • Winter FM cycle • B-4A (Rates of Suspension/Expulsion) • B-4B (Rates of Suspension/Expulsion by Race/Ethnicity) • FAPE • Findings issued in April 15, 2012 Workbook 19
2011-2012 Overview – FM (cont.) • Spring FM cycle • B-5 (Educational Environments) • May include Target C: “Separate schools, residential facilities, or homebound/hospitalized placements” • FAPE • Findings issued in August 15, 2012 Workbook 20
2011-2012 Overview – Data • Annual Monitoring Data Reviews • B-11 (Child Find), B-12 (Early Childhood Transition), B-13 (Secondary Transition) • Findings in December 15, 2011 Workbook • B-3 (Statewide Assessments)/IEP Implementation • Findings in April 15, 2012 Workbook 21
2011-2012 Overview – Themes • Focus on change management and training rather than technical changes to CIMS • Pilot, gather feedback, refine (TA Notes, new CAP process and forms, Results Transmittals) • Moving beyond compliance 22
OSEP Continuous Improvement Visit • Week of November 28 • Continuous Improvement Visit = CIV 23
OSEP CIV – Compliance • Compliance– CIC will be submitting: • State Monitoring Procedures (most recent version) • Sample of Monitoring Reports (from all systems) • What reports? • Reports issued in the 2009-2010 school year and corrected during the 2010-2011 school year (which will be reported in the February 1, 2012 APR) • Corrective action plans (CAPs) submitted by districts • Documentation supporting verification of correction and State’s analysis and disposition of findings 24
OSEP CIV – Results • Results - Rate of Suspensions/Expulsions as a SMART topic • Statewide importance • Increase in locals identified with significant disproportionality – discipline • High numbers of locals continue to be identified with significant discrepancy in the rate of suspensions/expulsions greater than 10 days • Impact on student outcomes 25
OSEP CIV – Results (cont.) • National relevance • Students with disabilities in New York City are four times more likely to be suspended than their nondisabled peers (1/31/11) • Almost 60 percent of Texas public school students received punishments ranging from expulsion to in-school suspensions of a single period at least once between seventh and 12th grade (7/19/11) • Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced the creation of the Supportive School Discipline Initiative which aims to support good discipline practices to foster safe and productive learning environments in every classroom (7/21/11) 26
Data Tidbit #1 “The latest survey shows that three out of four people make up 75% of the population.” 28
Data Tidbit #2 “Ninety-nine percent of all lawyers give the rest a bad name.” 29
Resources for B-1 and B-2 Updated Probe Questions Links directly to the GAD, MSDS, and SRM from the CIMS Web site 30

How to Access MI School Data 32 • Log in at www.mischooldata.org • Click Reports/Applications • Click Special Education Inquiries
Sample Special Education Inquiries 37 Adequate Yearly Progress (connected to B-3A) MEAP Proficiency MEAP Cohort Analysis
Adequate Yearly Progress 38 Did your local meet AYP for the special education subgroup? Why or why not?
MEAP Proficiency Inquiry 40 How did students with IEPs perform on the MEAP and MME by content area, Strand, GLCE, and disability type?
MEAP Proficiency Inquiry Graphic Insert screenshot of MEDP 41
MEAP Cohort Analysis 42 Are students with IEPs improving their performance compared to last year?
When can I start using this tool??? August 15 44
How can ISD monitors get access? • If you have access to D4SS … • You have access to MI School Data! • If you don’t have access to D4SS … • Call the CIMS Help Desk at (877) 474-9023 and ask for your username and password 45
How can I help locals get access? • If they have access to D4SS… • They have access to MI School Data! • If they don’t have access to D4SS… • Local users will need to be registered through the D4SS Technical Contact in your ISD (remember to request access to the “MI School Data Special Education Inquiries”) • How can YOU help? • Encourage locals to request access • Ask your D4SS contact how you can help registration go smoothly 46
What other questions can I answer using the Special Education Inquiries? In how many grade levels did students with IEPs meet or exceed the State target? Does the proficiency rate increase or decrease from grade to grade? What trends do you see from third grade through eleventh? Does the participation rate increase or decrease from grade to grade? What trends do you see from third grade through eleventh? Have any students shown proficiency for one or more consecutive years on the same MI-Access assessment level? AND MORE!! 48
Where can I learn more? • CIMS website: www.cims.cenmi.org • Basic training documents about how to use this tool in the context of B-3 are COMING SOON! • D4SS: http://data4ss.org/ • Professional development on dynamic inquiry tools • Will help you read and understand graphs used in MI School Data 49
