AGENDA • Introductions • Material Overview • New York State Performance Plan • Self – Review Introduction • Team Time
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 A focus on improving measurable outcomes for students with disabilities 10/8/2006 Marianne Murphy
IDEA 2004 Reauthorization includes 20 performance indicators • measurable across the USA • designed to bring NCLB & IDEA into alignment.

Outcomes http://www.vesid.nysed.gov/specialed/spp/home.html
State Performance Plan 13 “…requires the State to annually report the percentage of youth aged 15 and above with IEPs that include coordinated, measurable annual IEP goals and transition services that will reasonably enable the student to meet measurable post-secondary goals.” NYSED 2006
Part A: Team and Sample SelectionPart B: Review IEP’sPart C: Tally and Summarize ResultsPart D: Develop Corrective Plan (if compliance is under 90%) Step by Step Guidance
Part A: Team and Sample Selection • 1/6 of Districts Contribute to the State Transition Data Annually in Rotation • School districts with more than 30 students with disabilities aged 15-21 will review a random selection of a minimum of 30 IEPs. • You need to keep documentation for this entire process for 7 years.
Part B: Review IEP’s • School District Self-Review Monitoring Protocol • This form serves as a summarizing form and planning worksheet. • Individual Student Record Review Form • For each IEP the district reviews you will complete one of these forms. • Secondary Transition IEP Self-Review Monitoring Report • This is a sample of the web based form you will use to report the results of your review to SED
Example PLP • In completing the Level I assessment, Steve identified himself as a talented writer. Steve displays strong analysis and synthesis skills during the writing process. These skills will serve Steve well in any post-secondary setting and assist him in pursuing a career in Communications or history.
Unacceptable Example • Steve enjoys baseball and is on the varsity team. (“Steve stated…”) • Teachers report that Steve is an engaging participant to have in class and talented writer and would do well in a job involving communication. (not inappropriate to say, but does not prove that the student’s input was considered)
