State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP): Phase III
West Virginia Department of Education
The State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP), WV GRADUATION 20/20, was implemented during the 2015-2016 academic year beginning with sixty-nine (69) schools in thirty-six (36) counties representing fifty-nine (59) percent of West Virginia's high schools. During the 2016-2017 academic year the number of high schools has grown to seventy-two (72) and the cohort now includes twenty (20) middle schools bringing the total to ninety-two (92) schools in forty-one (41) counties. Evaluation efforts during the 2016-2017 school year have, with some adjustments, followed the Evaluation Plan submitted for Phase II. Informed by stakeholder input, there were two (2) key changes to the evaluation. First, beyond conducting focus groups with School Leadership Teams, the Regional School Support Specialists (RS[superscript 3]s) also participated in a focus group. Second, the evaluator worked closely with the RS[superscript 3]s to revise the WV GRADUATION 20/20 Reflection Rubric to ensure that it: (1) was a useful fidelity measurement tool; (2) applied to all schools regardless if they were new to the initiative or well established; and (3) reduced the burden of reporting. Once a pre/post survey conducted twice a year, the rubric is now a retrospective pre/post survey conducted once a year. Additionally, RS[superscript 3]s will complete a rubric for each of the schools they support. Two data comparisons are part of the evaluation plan. First, state level graduation rates among students with disabilities will be monitored annually across the span of the initiative. Second, results of the Reflection Rubric will be examined, aggregated, and reported each year. Further, individual rubric results will be available to the RS[superscript 3]s and the schools they support. These data will allow RS[superscript 3]s and participating schools to better see and understand the stages of implementation, areas of strength, and areas where additional support is needed.
