Early Childhood Outcomes (ECO) Training
The State Performance Plan, required by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), includes an indicator that addresses early childhood outcomes (ECO). This requirement is designed to gather performance data for young children receiving services through Parts B and C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Districts and SPOEs were to begin assessing all children entering and exiting First Steps and ECSE programs in fall 2006.
ECSE programs need to submit any entry and exit data compiled during 2008-09 by July 1, 2009. The ECO Data Collection Form below should be emailed to webreplyspedc@dese.mo.gov
