SPPI 7: Data Source
SPPI 7 data are collected through the SPP 7 Early Childhood Outcomes application in the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL). Local education agencies (LEAs) utilize the Early Childhood Outcome Center's Childhood Outcomes Summary (COS) Process and the Childhood Outcomes Summary Form (COSF) to document children's functioning in three outcome areas.
