Sample LEAs Plans for LEA Implementation

• Kristen Lewald emailed 3 sample plans from 3 LEAs to IU CC Listserv on 12/6– All 3 LEAs approved sharing statewide– Not endorsing or approving or evaluating

any language/actions in the plan• Simply a way of showing people that

LEAs are actually creating plans to ensure preparation for PVAAS Roster Verification and PVAAS Teacher Specific Reporting

• Share with your LEAs!!!

PVAAS and Special Ed

• As an IU:– Stressed a need to reach out to LEAs where

IU staff and LEA staff are “sharing” instructional responsibility for students

• Encourage LEA Special Ed Directors to reach out to LEA Admin to be included in discussion, planning, and implementation of PVAAS Roster Verification and PVAAS Teacher Specific Reporting
