  opens and select full screen. Right click
  again and select speaker notes. The notes will
  appear in a small box which can be moved and will
  automatically change as the slides change.

Developing Self-Assessment Samples (Appendix C)

• Sample 1- Evaluation
• Sample 2- IEP
• Sample 3- Discipline
• No Sample requirements
• Consultation with private schools
• Services plans
• 60 day initial evaluation timeline

4
Weighted Random Sampling

• Evaluation and IEP populations ONLY
• Separate lists and recording forms for
• Elementary
• Middle school
• High school
• Find "grand total sample size using Appendix D
• Split up the sample size
• Elementary
• Middle School
• High School

5
Table for Determining Sample Size (Appendix D)

• Population
• 1-10 ......................................
• 11-15 ...
• 16-20 ...
• 21-25 ...
• 26-30 ...
• 31-35
• 36-40
• 41-45

Sequence of Random Numbers

Sample 1- Evaluation (EVAL) Population

• Both initial evaluations and reevaluations
• Initiated and completed during the previous
  school year
• Completed is date IEP team determined
  eligibility or continuing eligibility
• Only students found eligible
• No transfer students with adopted evaluations
• Full-time Open Enrollment only if completed by
  your agency

9
Creating the Evaluation Sample

• Create three lists elementary, middle, high
  school
• Number students consecutively on each list
• Calculate a grand total
• Determine a total sample size (Appendix D)
• Select a proportionate number of students from
  each list to make up the total sample size

10
Example of weighted random sampling- grand total
and sample size

• Example
• Elementary (including EC) Students 140
• Middle School Students 70
• High School Students 90
• Grand Total 300
• Sample Size from Apx. D Table 27

11
Example of weighted random sampling- elementary
sample

• Number of Elementary Students in Eval Sample
• Number of Elementary Students x Sample Size
• Grand Total of Eval Population
• 140 .467 x 27 12.609
• 300
• Quota of elementary students 13 (rounded)

12
Example of weighted random sampling- middle
school sample

• Number of Middle School Students in Eval sample
• Number of Middle School Students x Sample Size
• Grand Total of Eval Population
• 70 .233 x 27 6.291
• 300

13
Example of weighted random sampling- high school
sample

• Number of High School Students in Eval Sample
• Number of High School Students x Sample Size
• Grand Total of Eval Population
• 90 .30 X 27 8.100
• 300

14
Example of weighted sample- numbers for total
sample

• Quotas for Each Level
• Elementary Students 13
• Middle School Students 6
• High School Students 8
• Eval sample size 27

15
Completing the Evaluation Sample

• Create list(s), number list(s), enter the totals,
  determined sample size and figured out
  proportionate share of grade level records.
• Generate the sequence(s)
• www.random.org/sequences
• Select the student records from the list(s)
• Enter the selected students on the appropriate
  Evaluation Recording Form (Appendix E).

16
Sample 2- IEP Population

• 3 lists of students who currently have IEPs
• Elementary
• Middle School
• High School
• Students who currently have IEPs
• Make sure you review the students current IEP
  for compliance
• Usually the largest population of the
  Self-Assessment
• Only include students whose IEPs were developed
  by your LEA

17
Creating the IEP Sample

• Create three lists elementary, middle, high
  school
• Number students consecutively on each list
• Calculate a grand total
• Determine a total sample size (Appendix D)
• Select a proportionate number of students from
  each list to make up the total sample size

18
Completing the IEP Sample

• Generate the sequence(s)
• www.random.org/sequences
• Select the student records from the list(s)
• Enter the selected students on the appropriate
  IEP Recording Form (Appendix E).

19
Sample 3- Discipline (DISC) Population

• Extension of old discipline sample
• The key is creating an accurate population of
  disciplinary removals
• List of students who have been removed by LEA
  staff for violating a code of student conduct or
  who have received disciplinary removals during
  the past school year

20
What is a removal?

• Partial day removals must be included in counting
  days of removal.
• Removals may include (but not limited to)
• Expulsions
• Out-of-school suspensions
• Removals to IAES
• Certain in-school suspensions
• Certain bus suspensions
• De Facto suspensions
• http//dpi.wi.gov/sped/bul06-02.html

21
In-School Suspensions and Removal

• Include certain in-school suspensions as a
  removal if
• The students IEP was not implemented OR
• The student did not participate with nondisabled
  peers to the extent required by the IEP OR
• The student did not have the opportunity to
  appropriately progress in the general curriculum.

22
Bus Suspensions and Removal

• Include certain bus suspensions as a removal if
• The student was not provided transportation AND
• The student did not attend school.

23
De Facto Suspensions and Removal

• Include de facto suspensions as a removal if
• The student is removed from school or class for
  not following the procedures related to
  suspensions.
• LEAs should have procedures in place to
  accurately track and count de facto suspensions.

24
Creating the Discipline Sample

• Create one list
• Number the students consecutively
• 10 or more students
• Sample ALL
• gt10 students
• Find the required sample size

25
Completing the Discipline Sample

• Generate the sequence(s)
• www.random.org/sequences
• Select the student records from the list(s)
• Enter the selected students on the appropriate
  Discipline Recording Form (Appendix E).
