The Center for the Integration of IDEA Data (CIID) developed the Generate application to improve data quality and simplify EDFacts reporting for state education agencies (SEAs). Generate standardizes data, improves data use and reporting, and supports administrative and policy work to improve educational outcomes for all students and their families. The functionality for each of the reporting capabilities described in this guide is consistent across the various reporting options. Generate has the capability to produce reports for all EDFacts files. It also includes a Data Population Summary report that provides a high-level summary of data within Generate, SPP/APR reports that provide the data needed to calculate selected indicators, and a Reports Library that includes student level data summary reports for exiting, graduation, participation in federal programs, proficiency rates, and educational environment.
Generate includes all EDFacts reports, 4 State Performance Plan/Annual Performance (SPP/APR) reports, and 15 additional student level data summaries within the Reports Library.
