    Abstract: As part of the National Assessment of Individuals with 
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) 2004 (Pub. L. 108-446), the Institute 
of Education Sciences is evaluating how schools being required to adopt 
programs focused on improving academic outcomes for students with 
disabilities. The focus of the study is examining trends in achievement 
amongst students with disabilities in both schools that are and are not 
accountable for the performance of those students. In addition, the 
study focuses on describing improvement efforts in schools that have 
failed to make adequate yearly progress for students with disabilities 
in particular grades and subjects. The evaluation will use EdFacts data 
as well as data from surveys of school principals and special education 
designees about their school improvement practices. The study will use 
descriptive statistics and regression analysis to study how student 
outcomes and school practices vary with the identification of 
elementary and middle schools for improvement.
