Indicator 17: State Systemic Improvement Plan

What is Indicator 17?

Indicator 17 is the State Systemic Improvement Plan (or SSIP). The SSIP is a multi-year plan focused on improving outcomes of children with disabilities. As part of the SSIP, states are required to identify a State-identified Measurable Result (or SiMR) and an evidence-based practice to improve outcomes measured by the SiMR. Massachusetts chose sub-indicator 7A (percent of preschool children, ages 3 to 5, with IEPs who have improved positive social-emotional skills) as the SiMR and the Pyramid Model as the evidence-based practice.

Why did Massachusetts choose Sub-indicator 7A as the SiMR?

Indicator 17 SiMR Data and Targets

The SiMR (Sub-indicator 7A) data are reported according to two summary statements:
Summary Statement 1Of the children who entered preschool program below age expectations, the percent who made gains by the time they turned 6 years of age or exited the program
