Thinking about State Systems and QRIS

http://qriscompendium.org/top-ten/question-4/

(CEELO FAST FACT – November 2014) Key Points Majority of state QRIS address provisions for children with special needs but the degree to which inclusion is addressed varies. Most programs receive credit for licensing regulations regarding open enrollment or working with specialists to ensure accommodations. Need to incorporate inclusion as a distinguishing component of quality beyond basic licensing regulations (CEELO FAST FACT – November 2014)

Key Points Consider additional incentives for inclusive practices by programs Provide professional development and technical assistance resources including linkages with higher education Design a user-friendly system for parents that has mechanisms to identify inclusive programs that will best meet their needs Consider the use of validated instruments to measure the effectiveness and quality of inclusive practices

Considerations for the Participation of IDEA Programs Are programs participating in QRIS including children with disabilities? Do we need specialized standards and indicators? Does the inclusion of children with disabilities impact indicators and assessment results?

Considerations for the Participation of IDEA Programs How are measurement tools working in programs serving children with diverse needs and disabilities? Does the severity of disability have an impact? Are practitioner standards and training adequate to prepare personnel to work with children with diverse needs and disabilities?

Considerations for the Participation of IDEA Programs Are public school operated programs participating in the QRIS? How can we align and reconcile existing program standards or licensing exemption? Does the type of school operated program make a difference for participation?
