ECO Resources: Summary Statements Calculator
The ECO Center has devised a summary statements calculator, which is a tool that allows states to take their OSEP progress category data for the three child outcomes and convert it to the summary statements which will be used for target setting. This calculator can be used by all states to generate percentages related to the summary statements, regardless of the child outcomes measurement approach. The summary statements for each of the three outcomes for Part C and 619 are the following:
Summary Statement 1: Of those children who entered the program below age expectations in each outcome, the percent who substantially increased their rate of growth by the time they exited the program.
Summary Statement 2: The percent of children who were functioning within age expectations in each outcome by the time they exited the program.
