During this interactive workshop, the IDC Evaluation Team helped participants find new ways to measure infrastructure changes and build on what is already being done in the state with data and evaluation. Participants also learned about new resources for evaluating infrastructure changes. For the 2016 Conference on Improving Data, Improving Outcomes held August 15-17, the content of this workshop was updated as Evaluating Infrastructure Changes: Tracking Improvement Strategies and Identifying Outcomes, along with an updated handout and resource guide.

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.

This presentation provides a brief overview of SSIP evaluation requirements and an introduction to key steps in planning an SSIP Evaluation.

This presentation provides an introduction to the SSIP evaluation process and an overview of key steps in planning an SSIP Evaluation. The presentation references a set of worksheets that can be used to facilitate the planning process. More information on each step, along with its corresponding worksheets, can be found in the TA document, A Guide to SSIP Evaluation Planning.

A two-part “National Evaluation Webinar” series conducted by NCSI, ECTA, IDC and OSEP. The webinars focused on evaluation planning in the context of the Phase II of the SSIP, OSEP Phase II requirements, development of a quality evaluation plan, and the process of moving from a theory of action to a logic model. Panelists included Gregg Corr (OSEP), Lou Danielson (NCSI), Tom Fiore (IDC), and Megan Vinh (ECTA).

During this session, the presenter applied IDC’s working principles of high-quality data to the SSIP. The presenter focused on applying the principles of data quality at each step in the SSIP evaluation.

This workshop engaged participants in identifying data quality issues that interfere with assessing progress in SSIP implementation and improvement toward the SiMR. A facilitated discussion focused on strategies for improving data quality to support decisionmaking and achievement of results.
