Reasons for Revising the Student Data Report (SDR)

To address grantees’ concerns about exiting students no longer receiving funding regardless of students’ enrollment status

To collect data for PART Measure 1.2 of 2– The percentage of scholars completing Special Education

Personnel Preparation funded training programs who are knowledgeable and skilled in evidence-based practices for infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities.

To align language in the SDR with NCLB and the IDEA 2004

SDR Student Funding Changes

$0 will now be an allowable response for Section C, Item 2.

Grantees will no longer be asked to exit students that are no longer receiving funding. Students will only be exited when they leave the program either through completion or noncompletion or when the grant ends.

Issues Related to Student Funding Changes

Grantees should review how they defined their program in their grant proposal. Only students participating in this program should be included in this data collection.

Grantees may reactivate students they exited in prior FYs who participated in the grant funded program in FY2006.

Grantees should NOT reactivate students that were not participating in the program in FY2006.

NCLB and IDEA 2004 Language Regarding Teacher Credentials

All of the employment sections of the SDR include an item about the student’s qualifications for his or her current assignment. (Section B, Item 7; Section D, Item 6; Section F, Item 7). Prior versions of the SDR, used the wording “fully credentialed” and “less than fully credentialed.”

These items were changed to use the language from NCLB and IDEA 2004.

– Is this student {highly qualified/qualified/fully certified} for this position under IDEAand/or No Child Left Behind? {Highly qualified/Qualified/Fully certified} for purposes of this data collection means that the student meets the state requirements, if there are requirements in your state, for certification/licensure for this position?

{Highly qualified/Qualified/Fully certified} {Not highly qualified/Not qualified/Not fully certified}
