This Webinar provided constructive examples of ways families can be engaged in the education of their child while he or she is involved in the juvenile justice system. The three presenters joining NDTAC for this Webinar have extensive knowledge of family involvement and have served as researchers, policy analysts, technical assistance providers, and advocates in the juvenile justice, mental health, and education systems.
Understanding Title I, Part D, Data: Counting, Collecting and Reporting in the Upcoming Year
The fall season marks the beginning of the data reporting period for Title I, Part D, programs, for both the Annual Count of students and the Consolidated State Performance Reports (CSPR). Collecting complete and accurate data for both of these collections in a timely manner can often present a number of different challenges. In this Webinar, Dr. John McLaughlin, Federal Program Officer, discussed the importance of the CSPR data collection and Dr. Bobbi Stettner-Eaton, EDFacts Management and Program Analyst, provided information on the EDFacts initiative and the goal to integrate the CSPR with EDFacts. NDTAC's Deputy Director, Stephanie Lampron, presented an overview of the Annual Count and a walkthrough of the SY 2007-08 CSPR reporting forms. The Webinar is intended primarily for those involved in the data collection and reporting process for Title I, Part D, at the State Education Agency (SEA), State agency (SA), and local education agency (LEA) level.
