Ohio Education Department System of Tiered E-Plans and Supports - ED STEPS

Ohio Department of Education is designing a process of increased support and collaboration to connect districts with federal funding suited to their students’ unique academic needs. The Education Department System of Tiered E-Plans and Supports (ED STEPS) will increase coordination and streamline the timelines and processes for assessing needs, planning, and applying for funds. As a part of the ED STEPS project, the One Needs Assessment and One Plan have been developed to assist with creating quality improvement plans. A common Consolidated Funding Application along with an interactive dashboard for reports, school and building profiles, and data filtering tools provide a systematic review of data for “funding the plan.”

This talk was presented at:
2022 National ESEA Conference
February 2022 in New Orleans, LA
