  • State Systemic Improvement Plan – Phase I State of Washington Part B
    State Systemic Improvement Plan – Phase I State of Washington Part B The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, serving as the State Educational Agency (SEA) has completed Phase I of the Washington State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP). Phase I is part of a three-stage process for the development and implementation of a multi-year plan to improve educational results for students with disabilities. This multi-year plan is one of seventeen performance indicators (Indicator B17) required by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) to be included in each state’s respective State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report. Both internal SEA representatives and external stakeholders (see Attachment F) were directly engaged throughout all aspects of Phase I (Analysis) activities; this broad agency, community, and parental involvement will continue throughout Phase II (Development) and Phase III (Implementation and Evaluation) of the multi-year plan. Washington State’s Phase I report includes detailed analyses of key elements of the state’s general supervisory system which guided the selection of four primary improvement strategies designed to strengthen state and regional capacity to support district implementation of evidence-based practices to increase early literacy skills of students with disabilities. Specifically, Washington’s State-identified Measurable Result (SiMR) is designed to reduce the early literacy performance gap between kindergartners with disabilities and their typically developing peers. The Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (WaKIDS) entrance assessment will be used as the primary performance measure, with secondary impact and sustainability measures tracked through 1) Consistency Index scores from kindergarten through second grade, and 2) assessment data from the third grade State English-Language Arts assessment.
