Abstract: This package is a revision and contains instructions and the form necessary for grantees and contractors supported under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Personnel Development to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities, CFDA No. 84.325. Data obtained are used to evaluate and monitor the implementation of IDEA and for Congressional reporting. Analysis of these data will be used in the following ways: a) to inform the activities and priorities specific to personnel preparation conducted by the U.S Department of Education; b) to determine variation in personnel preparation and factors related to that variation; and c) to evaluate the outcomes of the IDEA and the Office of Special Education Programs’ (OSEP) performance measures under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) and the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART). OSEP revisions have: a) added six items to the data collection instrument to collect data required for reporting under the PART (these additional items will only be requested for students that have completed the preparation program and include data on their knowledge and skill attainment and on their highly qualified teacher status (or qualified for paraprofessionals, or fully certified for related service providers and early intervention service providers); b) revised the race and ethnicity items to reflect current OMB policy; c) changed collection to better account for all students that benefit from the grant, as requested by both grantees and OSEP. OSEP will now collect data on all students that participated in grant supported preparation, not just those students that received direct funding. This change will increase the number of students that grantees will enter data on. To address this change, all text limiting responses to those students “receiving grant support” have been removed; and d) enhanced instructions for a few items to make the form more user-friendly and diminish response ambiguity.
