Purpose
District implementation of new SLD guidelines to be in compliance with Michigan rules & federal regulations
![Page 3: Charlevoix-Emmet ISD Eligibility Guidelines Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Evaluation Procedures September, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f355503460f94c534ec/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Goals for Today
• Understand the process and content of the SLD guideline
• Review district data• Experience the process used to
determine if SLD criteria is met • Identify challenges to overcome• Develop plan for successful
implementation

• General education intervention is …
• Special education intervention is …
• What is done when a student does not meet academic and/or behavioral expectations?
Educational Intervention
![Page 5: Charlevoix-Emmet ISD Eligibility Guidelines Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Evaluation Procedures September, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f355503460f94c534ec/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Process for General Education Intervention
• District process for intervention– Written?– Documentation of interventions – Understood by all staff?– Understood by parents?– Supported by all stakeholders?
• Consider as part of training
![Page 6: Charlevoix-Emmet ISD Eligibility Guidelines Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Evaluation Procedures September, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f355503460f94c534ec/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Getting to know your district: Up close & personal
• What does the ISD composite indicate?• What does the district composite
indicate?• How can this data inform and strengthen
the instructional practices of the district?• Where/when does this information get
discussed?

Michigan Rule
• Turn to page 2• Use a highlighter– Identify terms/conditions/aspects of
the rule that may challenge decision making for eligibility determination-5 minutes
• When the bell rings, review the results with your table
• Report out unduplicated list

Eight Areas of SLDRead Pages 5-8 (10 minutes)
1. Basic Reading2. Reading Fluency3. Reading Comprehension4. Mathematical Calculation5. Mathematical Problem-Solving6. Written Expression7. Oral Expression8. Listening Comprehension
![Page 12: Charlevoix-Emmet ISD Eligibility Guidelines Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Evaluation Procedures September, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f355503460f94c534ec/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Elbow Partners
• Discuss:–Which areas of SLD are difficult to
describe?–Which areas of SLD are easily
analyzed using classroom data?–Report out your findings
![Page 13: Charlevoix-Emmet ISD Eligibility Guidelines Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Evaluation Procedures September, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f355503460f94c534ec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pattern of Strengths & Weaknesses
• Model used for eligibility determination
• Data is analyzed to develop a profile of student performance within 8 areas of SLD
– Strength = 3 data points within one area– Weakness = 4 data points within one area
One of the 4 points must be an individually administered norm-referenced assessment
![Page 14: Charlevoix-Emmet ISD Eligibility Guidelines Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Evaluation Procedures September, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f355503460f94c534ec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Example: Pattern of Strengths & Weaknesses
• Basic Reading had three data points falling within the range of strength. Data indicated a personal strength in this area of SLD•Math Problem Solving had 4 data points falling within the range of weakness including the score of an individually administered standardized assessment of math problem-solving.Data indicated a weakness in this area of SLD. • More analysis to follow.
• Data is analyzed to develop a profile of student performance within 8 areas of SLD
– Strength = 3 data points within one area– Weakness = 4 data points within one area
One of the 4 points must be a norm- referenced assessment

Evaluation ComponentsData reflects:
I. Inadequate achievement (p. 15) II. Other factors do not explain under
achievement (p. 16) III. Appropriate instruction (p. 16-18) IV. Observation in area of difficulty (p. 19) V. Parent, teacher, student, medical and

Evaluation ComponentsActivity
• Compare the five evaluation components with the Michigan rule on page 2 of the guideline.
• How much of the required data is available from the general education interventions and the CA-60 file?
![Page 17: Charlevoix-Emmet ISD Eligibility Guidelines Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Evaluation Procedures September, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f355503460f94c534ec/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Data Analysis:Performance
• Differentiation of areas of strengths and weaknesses page 24
• Prediction with confidence: academic success and failure
• Cut scores are not speed limit signs: professional judgment
![Page 18: Charlevoix-Emmet ISD Eligibility Guidelines Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Evaluation Procedures September, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f355503460f94c534ec/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Data Analysis:Profile from Data
• Pattern or lack of pattern emerges– Multiple data points from a variety of sources
confirm the presence or absence of strengths and weaknesses
• Worksheet to Chart Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses p. 25
• SLD Summary of Data chart p. 27
![Page 19: Charlevoix-Emmet ISD Eligibility Guidelines Specific Learning Disability (SLD) Evaluation Procedures September, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649f355503460f94c534ec/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
IQ Score: Optional
• How has an IQ score helped inform instruction?• Why is an IQ score needed? • When is an IQ score helpful?
Adverse Impact p. 28 Termination of eligibility p. 29
