Register to attend Support Schools Tool open office hours

1/8/2024

The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce designed the Support Schools Tool to help districts, schools, and community schools track the implementation of their One Plans. The Support Schools Tool contains questions that help district, building, and community school leadership teams reflect on and adjust, as needed, the implementation of their One Plan.

All districts, schools, and community schools can access the tool. ED STEPS Cohort 2 districts that support schools that are designated Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI, formally Priority) schools and some identified Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI, formerly Warning) schools are required to complete the Support Schools Tool survey for the current fiscal year. The tool will open for use in January 2024. School and district team members can access the survey through the ED STEPS Dashboard or Monitoring Application in the OHID portal.

The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce will host a live webinar Thursday, Jan. 25 from 10 a.m. to noon for Support Schools Tool users. To register for the webinar, please complete this registration link.

There will be open office hours Tuesday, Feb. 13 from noon to 1 p.m.

District and school staff members and state support team consultants who support the Ohio Improvement Process are encouraged to attend.
