SPP/APR Resources
SPP/APR Basics What You Need to Know Training Series
These self-directed training modules provide a basic understanding of the IDEA Part C and Part B, Section 619 State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR) indicators and their requirements.
See also: Part C SPP/APR, Part B SPP/APR
Part C and Part B, Section 619 coordinators and their staff are the target audience for the modules. However, a wide range of stakeholders who are interested in learning more about the SPP/APR requirements, including parents, may find the modules useful.
Each module summarizes key points in the SPP/APR Measurement Tables, including a description of the indicator, its measurement, and reporting requirements. Each module includes additional information as needed, based on the indicator's requirements, along with indicator-specific resources.
The series includes the following training modules:
- C-1 Timely Services
- C-2 Natural Environments
- C-3/B-7 Early Childhood Outcomes
- C-4 Family Outcomes

SPP/APR Submission Guidance
The Part C and Part B SPP/APR Checklists and Tips have been developed to support states in annually preparing their SPP/APRs. The checklists are organized by indicator and the fields as they appear in the SPP/APR submission platform. This format will help states determine if all required fields have been completed. Tips are also provided to be sure all relevant instructions are addressed for each indicator. For Part B, preschool indicators B-6, B-7, B-12, and B-17 (if the SiMR is a preschool outcome) are included.
Data Calculations
The Data Calculations documents provide detailed information about the data needed for each indicator's calculation based on the federal measurement tables and related documentation. The documents provide information about the data for the numerator and denominator, data points for the calculation, data sources, and example calculations. All Part C indicators are referenced, as are Part B preschool Indicators B-6, B-7, and B-12. Indicators C-12 and B-18 will be added at a later time.
Target Setting Guide
This Target Setting Guide provides general and indicator-specific guidance, considerations, and resources to assist state systems in working with stakeholders to set targets for the SPP/APR indicators and the State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) State-Identified Measurable Result (SIMR) for the FFY 2020–2025 submission to OSEP on February 1, 2022 and in subsequent years.
