This roadmap provides a description of the activities involved in the development of the State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP) (SPP/APR Indicators C11 and B17) due to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) on April 1, 2015. The roadmap is intended to support states with completing Phase I of the SSIP process. This document provides information about the activities of Phase I of the SSIP process and provides more detailed information related to: (1) purpose of each activity; (2) goal of each activity; (3) process/how to information for completing the activity; (4) considerations for completing the activity; and (5) places to engage stakeholders. Questions to consider are provided to help states with planning and implementing, and links to existing resources to support the development of the SSIP are included. This document was designed using the metaphor of a roadmap to help guide states through the various activities of Phase I of the SSIP. It is important to note that the completion of SSIP activities is not necessarily linear. States may need to revisit previously completed activities and decisions.
