This presentation focuses on the role that developing a logic model has in overall SSIP evaluation planning.

The presentation focuses on experiences of State Part B teams in analyzing data, selecting their SIMR, and completing their SSIP. Guiding questions help states connect Phase I and Phase II planning.

Use of implementation science is critical in planning and implementing systemic improvement. This information explores how to operationalize the components of implementation science and how to select, implement, and scale-up chosen evidence-based practices. Helpful handouts are included.

The National Post-School Outcomes Center, in collaboration with IDC, provided a picture of post-school outcomes for youth with disabilities over the last four years based on Indicator 14 data. Presenters discussed methods states use to collect these data. To further states' work in RDA and improve results, presenters provided information about resources and TA that support states in examining the transition indicators as stakeholders work through the three phases of the SSIP.

Montana and Arkansas Part B Data Managers presented how they conduct their post-school outcomes (Indicator B14) surveys and how they have been able to increase their response rates over four years. They discussed what has worked for them, what they have learned along the way, and how they can now use these data as a part of their SSIP analysis.

This presentation can help SEAs learn about perspectives on stakeholders as allies and formulate essential questions to consider as they implement Phases II and III of the SSIP.

During this interactive role-alike workshop for SSIP Coordinators, the IDC Evaluation Team helped participants refine SSIP evaluation plans, identify action steps and timelines for implementing evaluation activities, and learn about resources that may be helpful in operationalizing their evaluation plans. For the 2016 Conference on Improving Data, Improving Outcomes held August 15-17, this workshop was conducted with an updated presentation and handout.
