This document presents a "Quality Program Indicators Checklist" developed with the goal of program improvement in classrooms for students in Kentucky with moderate and severe handicaps. The checklist evaluates program effectiveness in six component areas: (1) integration (interaction opportunities and teacher behaviors supportive of integration and individual integrated student outcomes); (2) functional curriculum (local catalog of age-appropriate activities, parent participation, assessment, and Individualized Education Program goals); (3) systematic instructional procedures (individualized instruction, program data analysis, social behavior change programs, program management and environmental design); (4) community-based instructional programs (goal selection, frequency, implementation, and emergency procedures); (5) transdisciplinary services and integrated therapy (block scheduling, assessment, embedded related services objectives, integrated service delivery, integration of adaptations, consultation and role release, information exchange and team meetings, and implementation issues); and (6) vocational instruction and Individual Transition Plans. For each component there is a brief introduction and rationale for that model component, followed by a set of best practice indicators or measures. Each measure has a data source and criteria for exemplary implementation. The quality indicators are correlated with established Kentucky curriculum goals and with findings of the school effectiveness movement for all students. (References are provided for each component area.) (JDD)
