It helps teams determine current implementation levels, pinpoint effective practices and areas needing growth, and develop goals and action plans aligned with continuous improvement processes and the Illinois Quality Framework.

The Critical Components Tool for Special Education Programs was developed via an extensive literature review to assist school leaders in facilitating conversations, reviewing, and improving the quality of special education programs, services and supports as a key component of continuous improvement efforts at the district/cooperative/school levels.\nIdentify a site’s current implementation level (baseline analysis).\nIdentify areas that are effective and those in need of improvement.\nSupport the development of goals and action planning in critical areas of special education programming.\nIn summary, the purpose of the Critical Components Tool for Special Education Programs is to assist districts/cooperatives/schools with achieving the following goals:\nThis Critical Components Tool is meant to be used in conjunction with a continuous district/cooperative/school improvement process that reviews multiple\nmeasures, including a variety of data and other assessment tools. It can be utilized in conjunction with the Illinois Quality Framework as a companion tool to look deeper into the area of special education and special education programming. The team may choose to complete the Critical Components Tool in its entirety, complete the screener, or select specific domains on which to focus. Action plans resulting from this analysis should be integrated with the district/cooperative/school improvement plan.\nThe Critical Components Tool for Special Education Programs offers guidance to educators and administrators when developing,\nimplementing, and evaluating quality programs and services for students with an IEP. The Critical Components Tool identifies 12 domains to consider for effective programs. There is an indicator under each domain and below that are descriptors of the indicator that define quality school experiences with the goal of improving post-school outcomes for all students with an IEP. The Critical Components Tool is designed to assist districts/cooperatives/schools to identify strengths and review practice and to identify and act on areas where improvement is desired or needed and should not be interpreted as a policy or regulation.\nPurpose:\n\n\n\nDATE:\nTEAM MEMBERS:\nCRITICAL COMPONENTS TOOL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS\nAfter each member has reviewed the Critical Components Tool independently, schedule approximately one to two hours to meet as a team to discuss individual responses and reach agreement on the rating that best represents the status of implementation at the identified site. A team member should be identified as the notetaker to record the ratings for each item, supporting evidence, and team discussion. A facilitator to support administration of the Critical Components Tool also should be identified.\nComplete the Critical Components Tool. The facilitator will identify each item and ask team members to indicate their individual rating by a show of fingers. (Not\nimplementing = 0, Emerging = 1, Implementing = 2, Exemplary = 3) If everyone agrees, the notetaker will record that rating. If team members have varying responses, discussion will be held until a consensus regarding the rating is reached. Discussion will be documented in the team discussion notes section. You must provide Record evidence supporting the ratings of “Implementing” and “Exemplary” only.\nImplementation is occurring consistently in all settings without support and is","cbCaiiwbqZLsLXzu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiwbqZLsLXzu","docx",1481685,"English","# Purpose\n# Instructions for Administration\n# Team Review and Rating Process\n# Rubric for Evaluation","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Critical Components Tool for Special Education Programs?\",\"answer\":\"It assists districts/cooperatives/schools in identifying strengths, reviewing special education practice, and acting on areas needing improvement by analyzing results and supporting goal and action planning.\"},{\"question\":\"How should a team complete the tool and assign ratings?\",\"answer\":\"Each member reviews independently, submits scores for aggregation, then the team discusses differences until reaching consensus.
