Continuous Improvement Monitoring Process (GCIMP)

The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE), Divisions forSpecial Education Services and Supports is mandated by law to monitor compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), applicable federal regulations, and Rules of the State Board of Education. This is accomplished through Georgia's Continuous Improvement Monitoring Process (GCIMP). Since 2002, stakeholders have met to provide guidance and input to the DES as Georgia moved from a model of procedural monitoring to one of continuous improvement with a focus on student results. Using the concepts of continuous improvement and focused monitoring adopted by the United States Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), Georgia has designed the GCIMP to promote continuous, equitable educational improvement for students with disabilities while ensuring continued procedural compliance.

OSEP's definition of monitoring is,"A continuous review procedure designed to compare present functioning against specific standards, and to yield a profile showing areas of conformance as well as those in which new procedures, training, or other methods of improvement may be needed in order to comply with specific standards."
