State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP)
SSIP is a three-year process within differentiated monitoring that is designed to improve the outcomes for students with disabilities. Exceptional Student Services (ESS) and Public Education Agencies (PEAs) work together as stakeholders through activities and professional development opportunities designed to strengthen and monitor district, school, and classroom systems.
The SSIP is Indicator 17 of the State Performance Plan / Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR).
