In collaboration with the National Technical Assistance Center on Transition (NTACT), ODE is piloting a data-based decision making tool, the State Toolkit for Examining Post-School Success - STEPSS, with five school districts. Oregon is one of only six states using STEPSS. STEPSS is a web-based, six-phase process enabling stakeholders to: * Examine local graduation, dropout, secondary transition components of the IEP, and post-school outcomes data; * Assess the district's progress toward meeting targets in each outcome area listed above; * Select predictors of post-school success, and * Develop, implement, and evaluate an action plan designed to improve in-school, secondary transition programs for students with disabilities using the predictors. The pilot will begin in September/October 2018 and runs through September 2019. ODE will provide the facilitator and materials used in the meetings. In exchange, we are asking pilot school districts to commit to: * Identifying a district liaison who will work with the STEPSS Facilitator to access any additional data needed, acquire meeting space, customize materials, and invite appropriate stakeholders; and * Engaging in the process for one year. SPR&I grant funds and PSO sub grant money from interviews can be used for any costs incurred by the pilot school districts. If you are interested in participating, please complete the attached form and email it to Sally Simich at sally.simich at state.or.us no later than close of business on May 18.
