OSEP’s Performance Accountability Implementation Team has developed two resources to help States prepare for the first SSIP Phase III submission due to OSEP on April 3,2017. The State Systemic Improvement Plan Evaluation Plan Guidance Tool can assist States in developing, implementing and evaluating their SSIPs, as well as help identify potential areas in need of support from OSEP and OSEP-funded TA centers. The SSIP Phase III Organizational Report Outline is an optional report outline developed in response to State requests for a Phase III writing guide or template. Both can be found on GRADS 360’s SSIP page.
