This IDEA Data Center (IDC) webinar will review new OSEP reporting clarifications on how states categorize children ages 3-5 within educational environments and how the clarifications may affect both national data and some state processes for collecting and reporting the data. The webinar also will feature IDC’s resources on B6 Data Reporting Tools: Educational Environments, Ages 3-5 and how states can use the resources to support their data collection and reporting efforts. As a result of the webinar, participants will have increased knowledge of:

• new reporting clarifications for educational environments for children 3-5
• how the clarification may affect state data collection and reporting processes
• how their states may have to make changes in their data collection and reporting processes in light of the clarifications
• how the clarifications may affect their state’s performance on Indicator B6
