/ State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP)
State-identified Measureable Result (SiMR)
Worksheet
This worksheet is designed to assist states in summarizing conclusions from the data and infrastructure analyses to determine if a potential State-identified Measureable Result leads to meaningful outcomes for children (and families).Keep in mind the information requested for this worksheet should have been compiled as each step of the SSIP is completed.This worksheet is intended to be a quick check to ensure that your state is on the right track. It can be completed as the state moves through the SSIP but it must include data and information from both the broad and in-depth data and infrastructure analyses. Information recorded in this worksheet can also be used to help identify coherent improvement strategies and inform the development of the theory of action.
What is your potential SiMR?What from your broad data analysis supports the identification of this area as apotential SiMR?
What from your infrastructure analysis, including strengths and challenges of system components, supports the identification of this as apotential SiMR?
Are there current initiatives in your state that are related to this potential SiMR?Are you connected to them?
Are there resources (e.g. funding, expertise) in your state that can be leveraged to address this potential SiMR? Are they equitably distributed?
How didinformation from your in-depth data and infrastructure analysis help youconfirm or further refine this as aSiMR (e.g.What’s working?What’s not working?)?
Is this a priority in your state?Is thereleadershipcommitment to making this change?
Is there stakeholder support or buy in on the part of partner agencies, practitioners, families, legislature, advocacy groups, and administrators?
Are there regions, districts, and/or programs in the state that have effectively addressed this issue where you could scale-up success or learn more about what works?
What strategies might you use to build EIS program/LEA capacity to improve results in this area?
Do the strategies address the magnitude of the problem?
Confirming/Refining the SiMR:What is the measurableresult that you expect to achieve?
Is the SiMRfeasible? Can it be addressed in 2-4 years?
Conclusion: Do the answers you provided to the questions above substantiate the rationale for selecting this SiMR?Will the information be convincing to stakeholders?If not, what are your next steps?
