Improving Learning for Children with Disabilities is a state mandated special education improvement process.  Much like the school improvement (continuous improvement process), ILCD has 5 phases of self-assessment and planning. The self-assessment consists of a series of “Inquiries,” which measure progress in relation to Parts B (school aged children) and C (birth to age 3).  The Inquiries are packaged in a workbook and on a website that each district may use to compile data and analyze trends.

Phase One: Selection of steering committee and training of the committee members.
Suggested committee members may include an Administrator, a Part C representative (Early Childhood), School Improvement Representative, General Education Teacher, Special Education Teacher, Representative from an affiliated school district, Related Service Provider (SLP’s, Psychologists), Parent of a Special Education Student, Services Coordination Representative

Phase Two:  Data Collection. Conduct the local Self-Assessment, including the file review process, surveys, and review of district SPED forms/policies/procedures.  Other data may include membership lists, census data, SESIS data, achievement data, and supporting documents.

Phase Three: Development and implementation of the Improvement Plan (based on needs identified by the local Self-Assessment)

Phase Four: Continued implementation of Improvement Plan and submission of progress to NDE

Phase Five: Continued implementation of Improvement Plan and submission of progress to NDE and School Improvement Committee. (Thanks to ESU #1 for the above information.)
