Improvement Activities/Timelines/Resources

The ADE-SEU will continue the development of a seamless and public data environment for

FFY 2005

the purpose of increasing the accuracy, validity, and timeliness of data used in general supervision activities.

The primary vehicle for public and restricted reviews of special education data will continue to be the

Special Education website at

The ADE has been awarded a grant by the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences,

totaling $3,328,503 over three years, for the construction of a longitudinal data system that will enable the

ADE to more effectively manage, analyze, disaggregate, and use individual student data to support decision

making at the state, district, school, classroom, and parent levels, in order to eliminate achievement gaps and

improve learning of all students. Special Education data collection and analysis will be improved through

this federal grant.

Final decisions will be made on Early Childhood program outcomes and data collection through the 2004

General Supervision Enhancement Grant (GSEG). The automated platforms between Part C and Part B

service providers will facilitate successful child transitions and due process compliance. The collection of

program-specific early childhood outcomes will be formulated for evaluation against state targets.

At the direction of the ADE-SEU, the IDEA Data & Research Office will continue regular training with

local special education data users. These trainings will be face-to-face and web-based and conducted in

conjunction with APSCN, DDS, or other ADE-SEU program and data administration staff. The Special

Education Data Manager and other data staff will attend the OSEP/Westat Data Manager Meeting and other

conferences that address data collection for the various monitoring indicators such as post-school outcomes.
