Support Schools Tool opens January 2023

12/19/2022

The Department has designed the Support Schools Tool to help districts and schools track the implementation of their One Plans. The Support Schools Tool contains questions that help district and building leadership teams reflect on and adjust the implementation of their One Plan.

All districts and schools can access the tool. ED STEPS Cohort 1 districts that support a Priority school and schools that are designated as Priority, Focus or Warning must complete the Support Schools Tool survey for the current fiscal year (FY23). The tool will open for use in January 2023. School and district team members can access the survey through the ED STEPS Dashboard or the Monitoring Application in the OH|ID portal.

The Department will host a live webinar Jan.19, 2023, from noon-3 p.m. and open office hours Feb. 3, 2023, from noon-1 p.m. for Support Schools Tool users. To register for the webinar or open office hours, please fill out this form. Staff will share guidance, resources, timeline information and a demonstration of the tool during the webinar. District and school staff and state support team consultants who support the Ohio Improvement Process should attend. Contact the Office for Improvement and Innovation Regional Support Staff for additional assistance or information.
