Back-to-Basics on the IDEA Section 618 Part C Data Collections—What You Need to Know About Collecting and Reporting Your Part C 618 State Data

Time and Date

Overview

This webinar continued IDC’s Back-to-Basics Webinar Series for new Part C state staff, staff with new Part C data collection responsibilities using the federal data systems, and those who want a refresher on ins-and-outs of the data collections. The webinar focused on beginning level foundational information about the data collections, such as required elements, timelines for submissions and resubmissions, how to submit the data and amend initial submissions, OSEP Data Quality Reports, and key terms. The webinar also discussed related federal data systems, such as  The EDFacts Initiative, EMAPS (EDFacts Metadata and Process System), PSC, and GRADS360°, and will highlight available resources. 

Expected outcomes of the webinar were that participants would gain a better understanding of the IDEA Section 618 Part C data collections; the role of related federal data systems in reporting Part C data; and available support systems and related resources to improve the timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of their state Part C data submissions.
