This guide was developed by the IDEA Data Center (IDC) Evaluation Workgroup for use by IDC technical assistance providers when assisting state staff in planning State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) evaluations. It identifies steps and considerations for developing a high-quality SSIP evaluation plan based on OSEP’s SSIP Phase II Guidance and Review Tools. It is not intended to provide standalone guidance to states, but some state staff and non-IDC TA providers may find it useful to consult. See the guide for more information on this and on accessing TA.
