Data collection for measuring, tracking, and improving student outcomes in GCBDD transition services for better eligibility and connections with other agencies.

GCBDD Transition Team Data Analysis
Purpose of Data Collection 1. To accurately measure student outcomes 2. To determine which transition services have the greatest impact on student outcomes 3. To track and measure GCBDD eligibility as well as connections with other agencies
Why is data collection important? 1. Without collecting data, we really have no idea if our services are effective 2. Without establishing a baseline, we cannot know if student outcomes are improving, declining, or remaining the same 3. GCBDD transition services are unique, and should be measured as an example for other counties
So what are we measuring? Year to Year Student Data Student Post-Secondary Data GCBDD Outcome Tracker Designed to determine if: Student outcomes match their transition plan Overall student post-secondary outcomes Students will be followed for five years after separating from school • GCBDD Transition Plan • Designed to follow student progress from year • Serves 2 purposes • Allows us to track student progression • Allows us to determine overall program efficacy

GCBDD Eligibility Stats • At the time of the students’ IEP meetings: • 66 students were eligible for services • 53 were not currently eligible for services • 3 were not applicable for eligibility • This means 43.4% of the students are potentially eligible • Of the 43.4 % that were not yet eligible: • 45 were referred to Vanessa for a determination • Next year, we should see a noticeable increase in the number of eligible students
Employment Data-Connected to OOD • At the time of the students’ IEP meetings: • 29 students were eligible with OOD • 93 had not gone through eligibility with OOD • Of those 93, 62 were referred to OOD • The remaining 31 were not quite ready for a referral or had parents that were not interested
OOD Eligibility by Age Group • Greatest numbers of unconnected students are ages 15 and 16. • As we work with them, OOD eligibility should increase.
Employment Data: Path to Employment • I have a job but would like a better one or to move up: 6 students have jobs • I want a job! I need help to find one: 25 students identify as being ready to work • I’m not sure about work. I need help to learn more: 69 students identify as needing more information about work • I don’t think I want to work, but I may not know enough about it: 21 students do not think they want to work
Goals for the 2019-2020 school year • We expect to see an increase in GCBDD eligibility. • We are working closely with other departments to increase the efficiency of the eligibility process. • We will continue to stay in contact with at-risk families that are having a difficult time completing the eligibility process • We expect to see an increase in OOD eligibility. • We are working closely with OOD to develop a more efficient referral system so we can keep track of which students completed the eligibility process. • We expect to see students move up a notch on the path to employment • As OOD connections increase, student employment readiness and employment should also increase
