State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) (2025-2028)

The State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) is a comprehensive, ambitious, yet achievable multi-year plan for improving results for children with disabilities. Every state must develop its own SSIP to improve a student outcome selected by local stakeholders.

The purpose of this support is to provide resources to support educators with their K-3 early literacy instruction. Participants may include educators of K-3 students such as general educators, special education educators, reading interventionists, paraprofessionals, library media specialists, instructional coaches, site administrators, and others based on their professional connection to K-3 students.

Professional Development
The SSIP is comprised of self-paced, asynchronous professional development,
synchronous, virtual, live events, an in-person OKMTSS conference, and an in-person data literacy retreat. To enroll in these opportunities, participants will
access the sequence through the state department’s OSDE Connect platform.
Once enrolled, the professional leader participating will complete an initial quiz.
This quiz is to ensure that the school participants have a keen understanding
regarding the implementation of the professional development opportunity and
how it will benefit their site.

Self-Paced, Asynchronous
SSIP has developed three years of sequenced professional development in the
form of self-paced modules that are intended to support the needs of K-3
students and educators. These modules should be completed as a team to
encourage collaboration and engagement together. Each professional
development is approximately 45 minutes of self-paced learning. Modules will be
available for participants on the first of every month, excluding December, June,
and July. Modules are supported with real-time virtual professional development
opportunities that support educator collaboration and deeper resource
understanding.
Each module begins with a content assessment to determine participant
understanding before the module. The module is comprised of recorded
instruction with opportunities for reflection. The last step of the module is the
completion of a content assessment and professional development feedback
survey.

Virtual, Live Events
SSIP professional development asynchronous modules are structured to provide
a deeper understanding regarding the content from the modules. Following each
pair of modules, a half-day synchronous virtual professional development will
support the content learned independently. These pairs allow for a total of four
half-day virtual professional development opportunities that dive deeper into the
module content and provide collaborative experiences with other educators.
Two opportunities will be offered to accommodate schedules. Information to
utilize funding for substitutes can be provided as needed. Participants will be
expected to attend one of the following sessions for each synchronous PD
opportunity:
Day AM: 8:00-11:30am
Day PM: 12:00-3:30pm

Universal Supports
All school sites in the state of Oklahoma will have access to the universal
supports. The supports will be directly related to the content in provided
professional development experiences. Supports will be categorized into the
following categories:
1. Evidence-Based Practices; literacy, math, and behavior
2. Sustainable Teaming
3. Continuous School Improvement
4. Data Based Decision Making
Each provided universal support is housed in a digital library located on
https://sde.ok.gov/okmtss. Each ‘card’ indicates the lesson plan/intervention
protocol, a fidelity checklist, and relevant resources to support implementation of
the tools described.

Data Literacy Retreat
School sites in the state will be able to participate in the two day, in-person data
literacy training that focuses on school system data analysis. Participants who are receiving additional supports with the SSIP will be prioritized for attendance. Training registration information will be communicated to participants via online platforms where participants access their selected supports. Capacity will be limited and thus the following priority lists will be honored to determine those who are required to attend and those who may
determine attendance is preference to their needs.

OKMTSS Conference
An annual OKMTSS conference will be held in the summer focused on
implementation of evidence-based practices as it relates to K-3 early literacy. Pre
and post conference activities will support ongoing engagement and sites will
have a focus on MTSS implementation of the supports indicated. Registration will
be posted in common locations for OSDE presented conferences.
