State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report

Carolyn J. Cherry | Special Education Supervisor, Results and Improvement

January 24, 2020

Today’s Process

We will provide:

An overview of key points of the SPP/APR

A review the indicator measures Indicators 1-17

Recommended targets for each indicator for FFY 2019

Provide opportunities for questions, dialogue and general feedback

3

Annual Performance Report (APR)

• Data is reported as Federal Fiscal Year (FFY)• Data reported in February 2020 is for FFY 2018

• Some data reported is ‘lag year’ (2017-18)• Indicators 1, 2, 4

• Some data reported is ‘current year’ (2018-19)• All other indicators

4

Key Points Continued

• Comparison of this year’s performance to last year’s performance isthe basis for determining progress or slippage for each indicator.

• Comparing this year’s performance to the annual target set in theState Performance Plan is the basis for determining whether thetarget has been met for each indicator.

Key Met Target, No SlippageDid not Meet Target, No SlippageDid not Meet Target, Slippage

5

Slippage

Definition: A worsening from the previous data AND a failure to meet the target. The worsening also needs to meet certain thresholds to be considered slippage.

• For a “large” percentage (10% or above), it is considered slippage if the worsening is morethan 1 percentage point. For example:

o It is not slippage if the FFY 2018 data for Indicator X are 32% and the FFY 2017 data were 32.9%.

o It is slippage if the FFY 2018 data for Indicator X are 32% and the FFY 2017 data were 33.1%.

• For a “small” percentage (less than 10%), it is considered slippage if the worsening is morethan 0.1 percentage point. For example:

o It is not slippage if the FFY 2018 data for Indicator Y are 5.1% and the FFY 2017 data were 5%.

o It is slippage if the FFY 2018 data for Indicator Y are 5.1% and the FFY 2017 data were 4.9%.

Child Outcomes Data for 2018-2019

• Developmental of children who entered or exited Part C or Preschoolspecial education between 7/1/2018 – 6/30/2019

• Allowable reporting methods

• Child Outcome Summary Ratings (COSF)

• Child by child

• Batch Upload

• Item level assessment data through batch upload

38

Benefits of item-level assessment submission option

• Assessment data measures progress on three federal child outcomes andthe Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIPs)

• Same methodology used by Voluntary Prekindergarten and SchoolReadiness Plus

• Less subjective than COSF ratings

• Can measure progress of IEP goals that are aligned to ECIPs

• Data can be used to strengthen local programs

• Included in dashboards that monitor the state’s investment for childrenwith high needs

39

Statewide shift to item-level requirement

• 2019-2020: Item level data is supported and encouraged for Preschool and Part C

• 2020-2021: Item level data will be supported and encouraged for Part C and stronglyencouraged for Preschool

• 2021-2022:

o Item level data will be encouraged for Part C

o Item level data will be required for most preschool students

o Exceptions: preschoolers with significant delays such that progress can not bemeasured using one of the KEP tools or children participating in inclusive settingsthat use a Parent Aware approved tool that is not also a KEP tool

40

Impact on Minnesota’s reported performance

• Data included 6,493 children who exited preschool special education in FFY 2018.

• Outcome data for 618 of those children was reported using the item level option.

• Indicator 10: Percent of districts with disproportionaterepresentation of racial and ethnic groups in specific disabilitycategories that is the result of inappropriate identification.

(20 U.S.C. 1416(a)(3)(C))


Indicators 9 and 10 Overview

• Racial Proportions in Special Ed due to inappropriate practices

• Quantitative data + compliance data

• Comparisons

Each racial/ethnic group is compared with the subtotal of all other races

• Calculations• Risk ratios• Alternate risk ratios• Weighted risk ratios

68

Indicators 9 and 10 Comparison

• Minimum N-size of 20students with IEPs in theracial/ethnic group of interest

• Risk ratio and weighted riskratio are both greater than orequal to 2.8

• Alternate ratio used if districtdoes not meet minimum cellsize

Indicator 9 Indicator 10• Minimum N-size of 20 students with

IEPs in the racial/ethnic group ofinterest

• The N-size for each racial/ethnicgroup applies in each of thecategories: ASD, DCD, E/BD, OHD,SLD, SLI

• Risk ratio and weighted risk ratio areboth greater than or equal to 3.0

• Alternate ratio used if district doesnot meet minimum cell size

Risk

Definition of RiskWhat percentage of students from a specific racial/ethnic group receive

special education for a particular disability?

71

Risk Ratio

Definition of Risk RatioWhat is a specific racial/ethnic group’s risk of receiving special education

for a particular disability as compared to the risk for all other students?

72

Calculating the Risk Ratio

Risk Ratio

Risk Group ARisk Group Non-A

73

Risk Ratio Example: White ASD

White Students

• 140 white students with AutismSpectrum Disorders (ASD)

• 6282 white total studentenrollment

• Risk = 140/6282 = .0223

Comparison Group

• 39 “other race” students withAutism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)

• 5309 “other race” total studentenrollment

• Risk = 39/5309 = .0073

Risk Ratio: .0223/.0073 = 3.05

74

Interpretation

• White students are 3.06 times more likely to beidentified as having ASD than students of all otherraces

Ratio of 2.0 = group is 2 times more likely

Ratio of 0.5 = group is half as likely

75

Other Ratios

• Weighted Risk Ratio: adjusts for statewidedemographics

• Alternate Risk Ratio: used when there are not enoughstudents of other races within a district to make acomparison

• Statewide data used for comparison

• Assessment data measures progress on 3 federal child outcomes and the MNEarly Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIPs)

• Same methodology used by Voluntary Prekindergarten and School Readiness Plus

• Less subjective than COSF ratings

• Can measure progress of IEP goals that are aligned to ECIPs

• Data can be used to strengthen local programs

• Included in dashboards that monitor the state’s investment for children with highneeds


Statewide shift to item-level requirement

2019-2020: Item level data is supported and encouraged for Preschool and Part C

2020-2021: Item level data will be supported and encouraged for Part C and strongly encouraged for Preschool

2021-2022:

• Item level data will be encouraged for Part C

• Item level data will be required for most Preschool Students

• Exceptions: preschoolers with significant delays such that progress can not bemeasured using one of the KEP tools or children participating in inclusive settingsthat use a Parent Aware approved tool that is not also a KEP tool


Impact on Minnesota’s reported performance

• Data included 6,493 children who exited preschool special education in FFY 2018.

• Outcome data for 618 of those children was reported using the item level option.

Summary Data of Findings


Training Opportunities

• No training currently scheduled

• Looking at alternative methods for those with corrective action plans (CAPs) tocomplete the CAP requirement.

• Considering shorter webinars done periodically on a specific topic.

• Working with other federal program teams to develop more resources to share andexploring options to have joint training for all federal programs.

• We want your input

• If you have specific training ideas or methods you think work especially well for thefield, please share them.


Monitoring Changes

• Changes to be implemented in FY19 (18-19 school year)

• No more five year cycle

• Monitoring based on risk assessment only

• Agency wide risk assessment on sub-recipients

• Federal risk assessment completed by US Department of Education Risk Management Services

• Additional special education only items our team will apply


Monitoring Changes Continued

• Three tiers of monitoring and assistance

• Universal/Low – Lowest risk, training available to you, assistance available upon request

• Targeted/Medium – Monitoring done only on a targeted area

• Intensive/High – Many flags in the risk assessment, concerns in multiple areas

• Time spent on site observing processes, reviewing data, and interviewing staff (interviews will primarily beonline, on site will be clarifications of information)

• Hands on during the CAP completion, CAPs could be very individual to the local education agency (LEA) orspecific depending on what the issue is

• Goal to be less general overall, more specific in finding the process break downs

• Monitoring is not the outcome, monitoring is the TOOL to reach a positive outcome, leaving you in a betterposition


Monitoring Schedule

• This year:• Monitoring this year will be limited to Group D (last time a cycle group is used)

• A smaller monitoring group than normal will be used due to time/personnelconstraints

• Hoping to have notifications out by end of calendar year

• Future years:• All entities are in the mix and eligible to be monitored unless in CAP status

• Notifications out at beginning of year

• Rolling report and CAP dates
