The 2020 OSEP Summit provided an opportunity by bringing together various stakeholders to explore potential strategies and innovative approaches to address this critical need. The virtual event was held over three days and participants had the opportunity to register for each event individually or attend all three. An archive of the event can be found on the 2020 OSEP National Summit webpage. OSEP also launched a new Attract, Prepare, Retain Resources Page that provides research and resources for stakeholders to explore potential strategies, innovative approaches, and additional resources regarding this topic!

Consistent with the model demonstration priorities, grantees will work with their OSEP Project Officers to adapt these measures to meet the unique aspects of their projects and to develop additional measures, as appropriate.
The primary purpose of this paper is to provide suggestions to researchers about ways to present statistical findings about the effects of educational interventions that might make the nature and magnitude of those effects easier to understand.
The purpose of this brief is to present lessons learned from the directors of OSEP-funded model demonstration projects on identifying the conditions, at potential demonstration sites, likely to promote or hinder the implementation of model demonstration projects. The most important indicators of site capacity necessary for successful model demonstration implementation are discussed.
In 2006, the U.S. Department of Education developed a Tool Kit on Teaching and Assessing Students with Disabilities (Tool Kit) to support the Department’s initiative to improve outcomes for students with disabilities.

The purpose of this brief is to discuss issues and approaches to preparing for initial implementation of model demonstrations. The goal of this stage is to build the capacity of individual implementers, as well as the organizations or systems in which they work, to support implementation and optimize conditions for success.
The purpose of this brief is to help model developers turn what may be implicit knowledge about model implementation into explicit information about what the model is, how it works, and what is needed to implement it to achieve the intended results.
Presents two presentations on introducing logic models and performance measures, their importance, and how to construct each for project related work.
The purpose of this report is to describe lessons learned through 10 years of coordination and collaboration between the Model Demonstration Coordination Center and OSEP-funded model demonstration projects.
The primary purpose for this link is to share an IES repository of resources related to designing studies, implementing programs, and analyzing data.
The final rule published in the Federal Register on December 19, 2016, amended the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to help to ensure that States meaningfully identify LEAs with significant disproportionality and that States assist LEAs in ensuring that children with disabilities are properly identified for services, receive necessary services in the least restrictive environment, an
OSEP’s third symposium in the 2017 Symposia Series, “Conveying Our Stories--Displaying Our Data,” focused on how States, districts, and Part D-funded investments can develop engaging stories and effectively use data to improve communication strategies used with stakeholders, leadership, and decision makers. The symposium explored best practices and tips for more impactful and effective communication efforts. Examples included: Information on building an effective dissemination plan and Using infographics and data visualization practices to communicate the meaning of data in a way that is accessible, accurate, and actionable for a variety of stakeholders. Tips covered: Using social media to improve outreach and Measuring success using analytic tools.
To support educators, as well as state and district leaders, in answering critical data questions, these centers shared how the four essential elements of data literacy can guide teams in using data, both virtually and in-person, to make accurate and feasible decisions in times of unknown.
To successfully launch the 2020-2021 school year for students with disabilities, state education agencies (SEAs) have an essential leadership role to play in supporting local school systems to plan for multiple scenarios, including services delivered in-person, through distance learning, and via blended approaches.
Replacing a virtual conference, there will be three symposia held, each with three components. The first component will be pre-work materials posted online by OSEP prior to the event. The second component is a two-hour event that will be a combination of live and pre-taped presentations.
