What is the State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP)?
The design for the program is intended to support Oklahoma’s ATSI (Additional Targeted Support and Improvement) school sites. At this time, consideration has been made to accommodate the need for ATSI schools to access the Sequenced Professional Development and the Instructional Coach. Your school can check back for Cohort Two for sequenced professional development and instructional coaching opportunities.
However, all schools can participate in the Universal Support tier of resources! Included in the Universal Supports will be continuous additions and updates to tools/protocols to support:
Evidence-Based Practices
- Protocols explicitly describing methods to use with students
- Resources/Video supports
Continuous School Improvement
- Tools/Templates to build effective procedures at the school level
Sustainable Teaming
- Tools/Templates to build effective grade level and site teams
Data-Driven Decision Making
- Protocols/Tools to effectively use data to support student outcomes
For more information to utilize this platform with your school site, please reach out to Alexa Hudak.
