Abstract: The Office of Special Education Program's Personnel
Development Program aims to increase the supply of qualified personnel
in the field of special education. The program awards competitive
grants to Institutions of Higher Education to support scholars who are
preparing to provide special education and related services to children
and youth with disabilities. Scholars who receive funding agree to work
in the field of special education or related services for two years for
each year of support they receive.
The Personnel Development Program Data Collection System collects
data from grantees, scholars, and employers who verify that scholars
are employed in the field of special education or related services.
This data collection serves three program needs. First, data from
grantees, scholars, and employers are necessary to assess the
performance of the Personnel Development Program on its performance
measures. Second, data from all three sources are necessary to
determine if scholars comply with the service obligation requirements.
Finally, project-specific performance data are collected from grantees
for project monitoring and program improvement.
