3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and

Title: Performance Report: Personnel 

Development for the Individuals with 

Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). 

Frequency: Annually. 

Affected Public: Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour 

Burden: 

Responses: 450. 

Burden Hours: 3,510. 

Abstract: This package is a revision 

and contains instructions and the form 

necessary for grantees and contractors 

supported under the Individuals with 

Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 

Personnel Development to Improve 

Services and Results for Children with 

Disabilities, CFDA No. 84.325. Data 

obtained are used to evaluate and 

monitor the implementation of IDEA 

and for Congressional reporting. 

Analysis of these data will be used in 

the following ways: (a) To inform the 

activities and priorities specific to 

personnel preparation conducted by the 

U.S Department of Education; (b) to 

determine variation in personnel 

preparation and factors related to that 

variation; and (c) to evaluate the 

outcomes of the IDEA and the Office of 

Special Education Programs’ (OSEP) 

performance measures under the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act (GPRA) and the Program 

Assessment Rating Tool (PART). OSEP 

revisions have: (a) Added six items to 

the data collection instrument to collect 

data required for reporting under the 

PART (these additional items will only 

be requested for students that have 

completed the preparation program and 

include data on their knowledge and 

skill attainment and on their highly 

qualified teacher status (or qualified for 

paraprofessionals, or fully certified for 

related service providers and early 

intervention service providers); (b) 

revised the race and ethnicity items to 

reflect current OMB policy; (c) changed 

collection to better account for all 

students that benefit from the grant, as 

requested by both grantees and OSEP. 

OSEP will now collect data on all 

students that participated in grant 

supported preparation, not just those 

students that received direct funding. 

This change will increase the number of 

students that grantees will enter data on. 

To address this change, all text limiting 

responses to those students ‘‘receiving 

grant support’’ have been removed; and 

(d) enhanced instructions for a few 

items to make the form more userfriendly and diminish response 

ambiguity.
