Since the COVID-19 pandemic, state teams in the IDC-PBIS Discipline Partnership have grappled with increases in school discipline rates, including discipline that results in missed instructional time for students. In this webinar event, we discussed strategies, resources, and some personal experiences of our state presenters that can help strengthen the effective use of data-driven problem-solving teams to better understand the root causes of challenging behavior and to reduce the need for and reliance on exclusionary discipline.

How do states collect and report 618 data, and where do those data show up in the SPP/APR? Glad you asked. In this informative webinar event from IDC, we covered all of this and more, including the life cycle of the 618 data that feed into the SPP/APR, 618 data sources, and how timelines affect stakeholder activities.

Did your state receive OSEP comments for Indicator 4 in the FFY2021 SPP/APR submission? An increased focus on significant discrepancies in discipline not only challenges states to examine Indicator 4 but also makes the importance of attending to basics apparent. Understanding concepts like comparison group, calculation method, minimum cell and n-sizes, and threshold is prerequisite before a state examines “reasonably designed methodology” for Indicator 4. In this IDC webinar event, we discussed these topics and more, including the critical decision points necessary for consideration when it comes to Indicator 4.

Hosted by the Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center (ECTA)--and in collaboration with DaSy and IDC--the four-part webinar series Leadership With an Equity Mindset: Using Preschool Special Education Data focused on collaboration between Part B, Section 619 Coordinators and Part B Data Manager or data staff responsible for preschool special education data. View these archived events to learn more about adopting an equity mindset throughout the full data life cycle, such as when analyzing data to identify and remove barriers to equitable access, experiences, and outcomes.
