  4. Indicator 7 Child Outcomes Percent of preschool children aged 3 through 5 with IEPs who demonstrate improved:A. Positive social-emotional skills (including social relationships);B. Acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/communication and early literacy); and C. Use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs.

  5. Changes to the Data Collection Beginning July 1, 2011 • Indicator 7 is now an annual data collection – • No longer associated with the Procedural Compliance Self-Assessment Cycle. • All LEAs will report entry status on all children who enter Early Childhood Special Education. • New definition of Entry Date - • Changes to Projected IEP Implementation Date (formerly Initial Placement Signature Date).

  6. Indicator 7 Child Outcomes Application Enhancements

  7. Application Additions • Child Information-Race/Ethnicity • Child Information-Primary/Secondary Disability • Sources of Information includes: • B-3 exit rating • Teaching Strategies Gold • Contact information for person submitting record

  8. Internal System

  9. Internal System Set up a “colored folder” system. Identify a staff person who will monitor the Child Outcomes “system” on a monthly basis. Identify a day of the month that child outcomes data is reported. Set up a process for training new staff on the Child Outcomes process and procedures.

  10. Frequently Asked Questions Timelines Less than 6 months of service Transfer children

  11. Entry Status Timeline Complete COSF Within 60 Days of Entry Date 60 Day Window Before Entry Begin Ongoing Assessment IEP Meeting Entry Date

  12. What If Window Between IEP & Entry Date is More Than 60 Days? Considering Completing COSF Nearer Entry Date Within 60 Days of Entry Date Begin Ongoing Assessment 60 Day Window Before Entry IEP Entry Date If more than 60 days between IEP and Entry Date

  13. Using Birth to 3 Exit Ratings • Districts may choose to use the B-3 Exit Rating as the LEA Entry Rating. • The ratings can be found on PPS (Additional Information). • Best practice is to develop system of communication between B-3 & LEA regarding exchange of Child Outcomes information.

  14. Exit Status Timeline Complete COSF Within30 Days of Exit Date 60 Day Window Prior to Exit Exit Date

  15. Points to Remember Less Than 6 Months of Service • 6 Months of Service – Exit data must be reported for all children who receive a minimum of 181 days of ECSE service. • If child exits ECSE and has not received 6 months (181 days) of ECSE service – you must enter the exit date but not exit ratings into Indicator 7 application on Special Education Web Portal. • If child enters ECSE less than 181 days from the child’s 6th birthday - do NOT begin outcomes rating process.

  16. Transfers In & Out of Your District Transfer Children • LEA that completes the child’s Initial IEP includes the child in the Child Outcomes process. • If child transfers into your LEA- do not include child in Child Outcomes process unless you do not accept the IEP and complete a new Initial IEP. • If child transfers out of your LEA – child is done with Child Outcomes process – enter appropriate exit data into the Indicator 7 Child Outcomes application.

  17. Two Common Questions Out of District Services • If a child is provided ECSE services in a neighboring LEA outside of the LEA of residence – which LEA reports the child? • The child’s LEA of residence is responsible for reporting the child’s Outcomes data. • If a child attends a LEA through school choice- which LEA reports the child? • The school choice LEA is responsible for reporting the child’s Outcomes data.
