Building District Capacity Technical Assistance  Staff provide on-site training and/or TA  Districts work with contract staff to identify needs. Site-visits may include:  Meet with District Leadership team to enhance Implementation Plan (revise policies, evaluate effectiveness, etc.)  Meet with individual school teams to outline teaming  Train school staff  Train staff on using data for decision-making  Review student files to ensure procedural fidelity

Building District Commitment Competitive application process includes assessing district’s readiness for:  Teaming and Leadership High level district administrators and school staff attend trainings together as a Leadership Team  Progress Monitoring With a valid and reliable tool  Curriculum Scientifically-based core reading program in every elementary school Training  Each Leadership Team attends 4 trainings throughout the year  Implementation plan includes: Developing district policies and procedures for RTI Long-term allocation of resources for training, teaming, and curriculum Data collection and management

Sustaining District-wide Initiatives Maximizing (y)our Investment Oregon Department of Education & Office of Special Education Programs

Adopt, Implement, & Sustain Initial Outcomes of EBISS Evaluation

All Students Succeed Outcomes  Implementation Plans: districts are able to adopt and implement  Districts involved since 2005 have sustained implementation Lessons Learned  District leadership is key to adoption and implementation at a school level  Districts need intense support across multiple years to work through the implementation process Continuous Improvement  ODE contracted with an outside evaluator to analyze data to provide formal outcomes  ODE is engaged in Scaling Up TA

Where We’re Going State-level Management Team (Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent, & Asst. Superintendents) Has agreed to monthly meetings with SISEP to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of local implementation by:  Engaging in the evaluation cycle (PEP-PIP)  Understanding implementation challenges and success at the local level  Hearing how state-level policy decisions impact local implementation

NEXT STEPS: Continue Student Success Include data in Oregon's KIDS project Develop Scaling Up skills Examine legislative revisions Design differentiated TA around framework Connect the dots to all initiatives Create measures of causal elements Connect funding streams to initiatives

State’s Role Keep the end in mind Creative problem solving Focus on framework Leave details to districts Support/lead through data reviews
