CCSSO is committed to helping states as they support school and district leaders to continuously improve schools. SDI strives to achieve this goal by working with states to develop systems of school improvement that focus on the roles districts play in improving every school. The focus of this collaborative is on learning about new research-based strategies, engaging with experts in the field, and working together across states to address shared problems. State members who join the SDI group includes school improvement leads, Title I directors, school leadership, deputy superintendents, associate superintendents, and principal supervisors.
2018-2019 Goals:
-Support states in utilizing the CCSSO School Improvement Principles as they begin implementation of their state ESSA plans in support of the lowest performing schools including, but not limited to:
