Was your building identified for CSI or ATSI support?
One Plan Revisions are due 10/1/2023
| |
|
Just a reminder that if your school was designated for CSI or ATSI support in June 2023, you will need to revise your One Plan to reflect steps your building is taking to address those identified needs. Building plans should be revised and resubmitted by Oct 1st if you are in ED STEPS Cohort 2 or 3. If you are in Cohort 1, no revision is needed now; however, be sure to address these needs in the plan you will be writing later this school year.
If you need any assistance, please contact your SST8 School Improvement consultant:

Does your SpEd Internal Monitoring team need a boost? | |
SST8 has professional learning opportunities designed to meet the various needs of our LEAs.
Training for New Teams*: Teams will develop expertise in reviewing their district's ETR/IEP pairs for compliance and calibrate their thinking using the Ohio Record Review Indicators in order to build and sustain internal capacity at the district level. ODE’s Office for Exceptional Children (OEC) expects each district or community school to have a process for ensuring that special education documents meet state and federal requirements. Join us for three-part series designed to help your district build the knowledge, confidence, and action plan ensuring that all special education personnel master these expectations. When you register for Day 1, you are registering for all 3 days. Training dates: October 16, October 17 AND February 15.
*If your district is a partner of Maplewood Career Center, please contact Dee Dee Howes to find out which training option is best for your team in light of the upcoming OEC Review.

OIP Reboot
October 26th, 9:00AM-3:00PM
Summit ESC
| |
If you're not sure whether you need to reboot OIP in your district or community school, ask yourself:
- Has it been a while since your DLT/BLT/TBTs were last trained in OIP?
- Has your team experienced a leadership change in the last few years?
-
Have changes with ED STEPS, local report cards, and state/local priorities left your team feeling less focused than before the pandemic?
- Do you need some fresh new materials and perspectives to rejuvenate your school improvement work?
The goal of this session is to provide
educators, administrators, and school leaders with an in-depth overview of the
Ohio 5-Step Process and demonstrate how its implementation can bring about
positive transformation and advancement within school districts.
