Statewide System of Support (SSOS)
SECC, in collaboration with the Center on Innovation and Improvement is assisting the South Carolina Department of Education in assessing and refining its current system of statewide support for schools. The goal of this work is to bring everyone within the state department to a full understanding of the current status of the state's system of support, to develop an understanding across all levels of the system of how their system of support should function, and to clarify state staffs' roles in the SSOS process. An initial self-assessment of the SSOS leads to the development of objectives and a plan for future development of the SSOS.
This project is in the following state: South Carolina.
