    Using Compliance Data for Program Improvement

    It can be challenging to bridge the huge shift from a focus on solely compliance-driven data to an emphasis on results-driven monitoring. Compliance data can be hard and fast; results-driven data can be harder to pin down. This topical burst provided an overview of compliance data, the interrelationship between compliance and results data, and existing processes that can help bridge the gap between accountability and program improvement.

    Making APR Local Determinations Meaningful

    In this session, Tennessee shared recent improvements the state made to its process for making annual local determinations as required under IDEA. The Tennessee process demonstrates how the state uses IDEA Section 618 and other data to measure an LEA’s performance toward meeting state targets of the SPP/APR for various indicators and how use of these results is ultimately part of the determination decisionmaking process. Tennessee included the results of these annual determinations in its annual submission of the MOE Reduction and CEIS data.
