| CFDA Number: | 84.325 - Special Education_Personnel Preparation to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities |
| Program Goal: To prepare service providers and leadership personnel in areas of critical need who are highly qualified to improve outcomes for children with disabilities. |
| Objective 1 of 2: Improve the curricula of IDEA training programs to ensure that personnel preparing to serve children with disabilities are knowledgeable and skilled in practices that reflect the current knowledge base. |
| Indicator 1.1 of 2: RESEARCH-BASED CURRICULUM: The percentage of projects incorporating evidence-based curriculum will increase. |
Source: Primary source: Researcher/expert panel review of a sample of program curricula. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: July 2006 Explanation: The FY 2006 target is to establish a baseline. |

| Indicator 1.2 of 2: KNOWLEDGEABLE AND SKILLED SCHOLARS: The percentage of scholars who are knowledgeable and skilled in evidence-based practices. |
Source: Primary source: Sample of scholars. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: July 2006 Explanation: The FY 2006 target is to establish a baseline. |

| Objective 2 of 2: Increase the supply of teachers and service providers who are highly qualified for and serve in positions for which they are trained. |
| Indicator 2.1 of 4: SCHOLARS EXITING PROGRAM: The percentage of scholars who exit training programs prior to completion due to poor academic performance will decrease. |
Source: Primary source: Personnel Preparation Annual Data Report. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: July 2006 Explanation: OSEP initially anticipated that the performance target for this measure would be to achieve decreases in the rate over time. However, because baseline data were better than anticipated (e.g., less than 1 percent), instead of expecting even further decreases in outyears, OSEP believes that maintaining a rate of less than or equal to 1 percent is desireable. |

| Indicator 2.2 of 4: SCHOLARS EMPLOYED UPON COMPLETION: The percentage of degree/certification program scholars who are employed upon program completion in the area(s) for which they were trained will increase. |
Source: Primary source: Personnel Preparation Annual Data Report. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: July 2006 Explanation: The significant decrease from the 2003 actual figure of 79 percent to the 2005 actual figure of 68 percent is due to refinements to the data collection system that permit a more accurate link between area of employment and area of training. Therefore, the 2005 actual figure will serve as the baseline for future reporting. No FY 2004 data were collected. |
