The National Post-School Outcomes Center, in collaboration with IDC, provided a picture of post-school outcomes for youth with disabilities over the last four years based on Indicator 14 data. Presenters discussed methods states use to collect these data. To further states' work in RDA and improve results, presenters provided information about resources and TA that support states in examining the transition indicators as stakeholders work through the three phases of the SSIP.

Montana and Arkansas Part B Data Managers presented how they conduct their post-school outcomes (Indicator B14) surveys and how they have been able to increase their response rates over four years. They discussed what has worked for them, what they have learned along the way, and how they can now use these data as a part of their SSIP analysis.

The 2015 SPP/APR Indicator Analyses for Part B presents a national quantitative picture of the implementation of Part B of IDEA based on a review of information 60 states and jurisdictions reported in their FFY 2013 Annual APRs. For the purposes of the report, the term “state” is used for both states and territories. The report, which covers Part B Indicators 1 through 17, can be downloaded in Word format.

This presentation provided an overview of the challenges of data collection for IDEA Part B Indicator 14 and identified some successful efforts to overcome challenges such as representativeness and response rates. Additionally, presenters shared one state's effort to improve the quality of their student post-school outcome data to increase confidence in programmatic decisions that could be made from those data.

Presenters revisited the connections (improvement strategies, data sets, program evaluation) across several of the IDEA Part B Indicators–the gist of RDA–with a particular focus on the indicators most closely related to secondary students.

The Part B State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report 2016 Indicator Analyses presents a national picture of the implementation of IDEA based on a review of information 60 states and jurisdictions reported in their FFY 2014 APRs and amended SPPs that they subsubmitted to OSEP in spring of 2016.
