For many of us, the turn of a new year represents not just a change in the calendar but an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and where we might like to go next. And while new year’s resolutions aren’t exactly our thing, we asked IDC TA providers and staff to share with us either a word or brief phrase that they’re keeping close to their minds and hearts as they look forward to a season of renewal and possibility.

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.

We want to remind you that we are offering each state the opportunity to have IDC staff review drafts of your SPP/APR indicators, including the SSIP. But the clock is ticking so don’t hesitate to reach out to IDC for review and feedback.To take advantage of this opportunity, please contact your IDC State Liaison.

Join host Nancy Johnson to learn more about these all-important requirements, in addition to real-life stories and strategies from states about how they get it all done.
