State Performance Plan Process Law requires Texas to collect data on 20 indicators State, ESCs and LEAs use data to improve programs for children with disabilities Data Collection Process: Improving Program Effectiveness SPP Indicator 11: Timely Initial Evaluation Compliance percentage is calculated and reported Data is entered in online data collection application Districts adhere to the timeline for initial evaluations TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 4
Federal Requirements: Data Collection When the IDEA was reauthorized in 2004, the law was amended to require that each State develop a State Performance Plan (SPP). The SPP helps the State evaluate its efforts in implementing the requirements and purposes of the IDEA. The SPP includes baseline data, measurable and rigorous targets, and improvement activities for 20 SPP indicators such as meeting evaluation timelines for early childhood transition (SPP 12) and early childhood outcomes (SPP 7). The SPP can be found at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=2147497591 Data is used for LEA determinations. SPP targets are publicly reported and accessible online. TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 5
SPP: Improving Education By Publicly Reporting the SPP Targets: Schools make informed, data driven decisions in order to impact program effectiveness. Children and youth experience effective programs and services that ensure positive outcomes. TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 6

Submitting Data to TEA The State developed a web-based State Performance Plan Indicator 11 Application (SPP 11) to collect data on meeting the transition timeline. Data is calculated for each district/ charter s program and the state totals are publicly reported in the Annual Performance Report (APR) and TEA website The SPP 11 Application can be accessed through the Texas Education Agency Security Environment (TEASE). In order for school personnel to access the application, TEASE roles must be obtained for the appropriate staff (See TEASE PPT for further information) TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 14
Submitting Data to TEA TEASE roles allow staff personnel to enter, save, submit and certify data. Every district and charter must have one Certifier identified For Security purposes, there can only be one Certifier per district for the SPP 11 online data collection application TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 15
Revoking User Roles If the person established as the Certifier has left that position or the district, that role will need to be revoked by the Superintendent before a new Certifier can have access. The Superintendent must log into TEASE and access User Administration+ to revoke the role.

SPP 11 Data Integrity TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 76
Why is data integrity important? States and LEAs are required to provide valid and reliable data that reflect the measurement for each SPP indicator. This requirement is a factor in the state and local determination processes. TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 77
How does the State ensure data integrity for SPP Indicators? PEIMS data are subjected to edit checks and validation (SPP Indicators 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10) AYP Data are processed and validated (SPP Indicator 3) Currently, the State is focusing on ensuring data integrity for SPP Indicators 7, 11, 12, 13, and 14 TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 78
How can you ensure data integrity for SPP Indicators? TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 79
Data Integrity Checklist for SPP Indicator 11 Did you follow the data collection requirements outlined in the instructions? Did you review the previous year s submission to determine whether or not the current year s submission data were consistent? If not, do you have an explanation. TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 80
Data Integrity Checklist for SPP Indicator 11 Indicator 11 Example: In 2010-11, District A submitted that 350 students were evaluated. In 2011-12, District A is about to report that 250 students were evaluated. The difference between the two years was 100 students. This type of analysis of the data provides an opportunity for the district to check if it is under reporting data in 2011-12. TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 81
Data Integrity Checklist for SPP Indicator 11 Did you check your math? If you are reporting noncompliance, are you aware of the issues resulting in the noncompliance and they are not the result of not following directions. TEA Division of Federal and State Education Policy 82
Data Integrity: Certification When you click the CERTIFY button, you are assuring the State that you are submitting valid and reliable data.

Data Integrity: Consequences Data certified and submitted by districts through the TEASE applications for Indicators 11, 12, and 13 are considered final and the district s performance on the compliance indicators will be used by the Agency in the annual Determinations analysis. District s performance on the compliance indicators will be reflected in the district public reporting on SPP Indicators in the spring. Any issues related to the submission of inaccurate data or the non submission of data will be addressed by the Division of Program Monitoring and Intervention.
