Presented by Lawrence Dennis Education Consultant for the Office for Exceptional Children October 23, 2014 OCTA Fall Conference

Results-Driven Accountability Office for Special Education Program The Educational Outcomes of America’s Children and Youth with Disabilities have not improved as much as expected, despite significant federal efforts to close achievement gaps. Children with disabilities are part of, not separate from, the general education population. Special Education accountability should strengthen and compliment other ED reform initiatives, including ESEA Flexibility. 2

Results-Driven Accountability Office for Special Education Program An emphasis on compliance over results in special education fails to acknowledge those States where children are achieving and being prepared for a range of college and career options appropriate to their individual needs and preferences. The accountability system under IDEA should provide meaningful information to the public regarding the effectiveness of State and local educational agencies in educating children with disabilities. 3

OLTS – OHIO’S LONGITUDINAL TRANSITION STUDY Impact of Career Technical Education on the Post School Engagement of Student’s with Disabilities

TRENDS General trend: Students with disabilities are increasing enrolling in postsecondary education Post school employment rates have dropped due the recession

PREDICTORS FOR POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION Generally students who participate in mainstream classes for more than 80% were much more likely to enroll in two or four year colleges Those who passed the majority of their graduation test were more likely to enroll in two and four year colleges.

PREDICTORS OF EMPLOYMENT In general Students with Disabilities are more likely to enter full time employment if they had three or more semesters of career-tech. Students with Multiple Disabilities in Job Training Programs(JTC) who are provided school supervised work-based learning experience are more likely to be employed. Students who start job searching before graduation are more likely to be employment.
