This webinar continued IDC's Back-to-Basics Webinar Series for new Part B state staff, staff with new indicator responsibilities, and those who want a refresher on ins-and-outs of the SPP/APR indicators and related Section 618 data collections. The webinar focused on beginning level information on Indicator B1 (Graduation Rates) and B2 (Dropout Rates), including a review of the indicators’ specific criteria and data sources; steps and calculations required to collect, analyze, and report Indicator B1 and Indicator B2 data; and any differences or similarities between Indicators B1 and B2 and the other indicators, as well.

Expected outcomes of the webinar were that participants would gain a better understanding of Indicator B1 and Indicator B2 requirements to ensure high-quality data for SPP/APR reporting and increased knowledge about available resources and supports for understanding and reporting Indicator B1 and Indicator B2 data.
