Collection: Statutory Requirements
Each State agency and local educational agency shall—
(1) submit evaluation results to the State educational agency and the Secretary; and
(2) use the results of evaluations under this section to plan and improve subsequent programs for participating children and youth.
State and local agencies receiving Title I, Part D, funds must evaluate their programs’ impact on the ability of students:
(1) to maintain and improve educational achievement;
(2) to accrue school credits that meet State requirements for grade promotion and secondary school graduation;
(3) to make the transition to a regular program or other education program operated by a local educational agency;
(4) to complete secondary school (or secondary school equivalency requirements) and obtain employment after leaving the correctional facility or institution for neglected or delinquent children and youth; and
(5) as appropriate, to participate in postsecondary education and job training programs.

statutory requirements

Collection: Two Federal Data Collections
Major Federal data collections for Title I, Part D:• Annual Child Count
– Used by U.S. Department of Education (ED) to determine Title I, Part A, and Title I, Part D, funding allocations
• Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR) – Provides demographic and outcome data for
programs receiving Title I, Part D, funds
Understand the types of data requested by ED
6
Collection: Federal Collection Requirements
All Title I, Part D-funded programs must collect data to report to ED. Program categories:
• At-Risk Programs—Subpart 2 only
• Other Programs• Neglected Programs• Juvenile Detention• Juvenile Corrections• Adult Corrections—Subpart 1 only
Resources: CSPR Forms, CSPR Guide
Identify the programs receiving funds
7
Collection: Federal Collection Requirements
Each State agency and local agency program submits the following data to ED:
• Student and facility counts
• Student demographics
• Transition services
• Academic and vocational outcomes
• Academic performance in reading and mathematics
Be familiar with the CSPR measures
8
Collection: State Collection Processes
• State and Federal reporting requirements may differ.
• Each State has its own collection tool and processes (i.e., paper and pencil, online tool, electronic files).
• Data contacts at State, subgrantee, and program levels are responsible for certain aspects of data collection and reporting.
Know State reporting
requirements
Develop systems to assist and improve the data collection
process
Build relationships with the data
contacts in the State
9
Collection: Data Quality Review
• Data need to be trustworthy—high-quality data are accurate, consistent, unbiased, understandable, transparent.
• Data quality is best achieved when timely reviews are done at the program level.
• Educating subgrantees/programs on data collection can improve data quality.
Assess the quality of the data received
Provide training to improve data quality

Reporting the Data
15
Reporting: Federal Reporting Systems, CSPR
• CSPR is a data collection instrument administered annually by ED’s Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE).
• The required measures for Title I, Part D, can be found in CSPR section 2.4.
16
Reporting: Federal Reporting Systems, EDFacts
• EDFacts is an ED initiative to collect, analyze, report on, and promote the use of high-quality performance data.
• Most of the Title I, Part D, data are now reported through EDFacts. Eventually, all data will be reported through the EDFacts’ online EDEN Submission System (ESS).

Evaluation: Federal Use of Data
• Program evaluation and performance assessments– Government Performance Results Act of 1993 (GPRA)
Performance Reports– Federal Budget Requests to Congress– In response to Congressional Requests (e.g.,
Elementary and Secondary Education Act reauthorization)

Evaluation: State Use of Data
• States must use data to improve Title I, Part D, programs, as directed by Subpart 3.
• Effective uses of data at the State level for program improvement may include:– Program evaluation– Decision making– Goal setting
• Data use at the subgrantee level also supports program improvement.
Use data for program quality improvement

Beyond the Basics
• Establish goals for Part D programs– Using the data, establish long- and short-term goals for
programs• Expand upon the data collected• Use all available data
– Use access you may have to additional data from these programs (i.e., student-level data)
• Share the data– Use data collected to promote programs
• Use data in program administration– Needs assessment, subgrantee monitoring, application reviews
