Keeping Students with Disabilities On Track for Graduation
The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, through its Office for Exceptional Children, is implementing a comprehensive State Systemic Improvement Plan to improve the educational results of Ohio’s students with disabilities. The plan focuses on improving the graduation rate of students with disabilities with a regular diploma and supports Ohio’s goal to increase the percentage of high school graduates who are enrolled, enlisted or employed one year after graduation.
The Each Child On Track theory of action illustrates the plan’s strategies and intended outcomes and the Evaluation Plan provides details on the evaluation questions and methods of data collection that the state will use over the next five years to evaluate progress. Each Child On Track teams accomplished a great deal in their first year of implementation. Read about it here Year 1 Annual Evaluation Report Executive Summary December 2023.
A blog featuring the project can be found on the GRAD Partnership website.
