Strengthening the Statewide System of Support

Strengthening the Statewide System of Support is a process that enables an SEA to self-assess its system of support and plan for its improvement. Strengthening the Statewide System of Support is not a compliance monitoring process, a rating system, or a means of comparing one state’s system with another’s. The sole purpose of Strengthening the Statewide System of Support is to facilitate technical assistance from a Comprehensive Center to guide a team from the SEA in fully describing the statewide system of support, viewing that description within a framework, determining ways to strengthen the system, and developing a plan for improvement.
