This sample action plan template was designed by DaSy, ECTA, IDC, and NCSI to provide states with a suggested format and examples of potential content for their Phase II SSIP improvement and evaluation plan. States should feel free to adapt the template or use one that best meets their needs and communicates how they will implement and evaluate their SSIP in Phase III. This template is based on a logic model approach. It links activities and steps needed to implement the improvement strategies with intended outcomes and uses the activities and outcomes as the basis for the evaluation plan.
The presentation presents an overview on developing an infrastructure that supports implementation, scale-up, and sustainability of effective practices and highlights core components of implementation. Highlighted components include: Implementation Stages, Implementation Drivers, Implementation Teams, Usable Interventions, and Improvement Cycles.
Selection of a cohort, or Transformation Zone, for SSIP implementation is a principle consideration in developing an action plan. The presentation addresses variables that states should considered in making those decisions and provides information on methods to determine readiness and eliciting involvement of an LEA/EIS.
