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.
