ED STEPS

Education Department's System of Tiered E-Plans and Supports

The Education Department’s System of Tiered E-Plans and Supports (ED STEPS) is a system that enables educational entities to efficiently and effectively assess needs, plan, and leverage funds to prepare students for a successful future. Built in several stages, ED STEPS fully replaces the Comprehensive Continuous Improvement Plan (CCIP).
For a quick look at ED STEPS, see our ED STEPS Brochure.

ED STEPS Planning Cycle

As part of the Ohio Department of Education and Workforces’ ED STEPS system, organizations within Ohio are assigned to one of three cohorts. Each cohort is associated with a starting year for three-year planning which includes evaluating needs and writing a three-year plan.
