D. & Rebekah Hornak  \nIntroduction  \nTechnical assistance (TA) is a term  used to describe efforts provided to an individual or organization to support capacity development (Katz & Wandersman, 2016; West et al, 2012) to promote the adoption of evidence-based practices or affect systems change (Dunst et al.,  \n2019). This capacity development can focus on developing  \nknowledge and skills to improve performance quality, effectiveness, and efficiency (West et al., 2012). The intensity and types of TA can be tailored according to the needs and desired outcomes of the recipient.  \nThe State Implementation and Scaling-up of Evidencebased Practices (SISEP) Center is funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and is a project of the National Implementation Research Network. SISEP uses a differentiated three-tiered approach to support states in developing an infrastructure for implementing and scaling evidence-based practices, including universal, targeted, and intensive TA.  \nFigure 1: Three-tiered TA Support  \nTechnical assistance is provided in support of SISEP’s goal to expand the selection, adoption, and sustained use of evidence-based practices using implementation science to strengthen educational systems, support educators, and improve outcomes for all students, especially for students with disabilities. Lessons learned from intensive and targeted TA are used to inform and refine the universal TA services. OSEP defines universal TA as “passive” in that information is provided to independent users through their initiative with minimal direct interaction from the TA center staff. Universal TA activities include providing information or products such as newsletters, guidance documents, and research briefs that can be downloaded from a website or brief communication through telephone, email, or one-time invitations to conferences or workshops. Using OSEP’s definition, the universal TA provided by SISEP includes disseminating educational materials and resources, with dissemination and communication occurring through the  \n[www.sisep.fpg.unc.edu](www.sisep.fpg.unc.edu)  \nCenter’s website, newsletters, and other communication means, such as social media and professional presentations. Implementation materials and resources are available through an online learning platform, the Active Implementation Hub (AI Hub) .  \nSISEP’s Approach to Universal TA  \nUniversal TA is a critical component of SISEP’s tiered TA approach. A key distinction that defines universal TA from targeted and intensive TA is that universal TA is recipientdriven, meaning an individual or group can explore and engage with content and resources rather than joining into a collaborative partnership with SISEPas they would for targeted and  \nintensive TA.  \nInformation and resources can be accessed independently. Universal TA is an efficient means to disseminate learning and practices, providing learning resources, activities, tools, and examples from practice. Universal TA can effectively support a recipient in building foundational knowledge and provide resources and learning material so those who possess foundational knowledge can dig deeper into learning content. Universal TA, however, has limitations such as not being customized to the unique needs of the individual or organization, nor tailored to account for the context in which implementation occurs. While universal TA is not meant to replace targeted and intensive technical assistance, it can support these more intensive levels through individual learning and the application of resources.  \nSISEP aims to support the development of the educator workforce to advance student learning and strengthen cross-agency coordination and community engagement for implementation. To accomplish this, SISEP strives to develop the competency of leaders and educators as implement","cbCaim9eP1ZklYRj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim9eP1ZklYRj","pdf",2324504,"English","# Introduction\n# SISEP’s Approach to Universal TA\n## Universal TA as a Recipient-Driven Model\n## Accessing Information and Resources Independently\n# Dissemination and Active Implementation Hub","[{\"question\":\"How does the document define technical assistance (TA)?\",\"answer\":\"TA describes efforts that support individuals or organizations in building capacity to promote adoption of evidence-based practices and systems change.\"},{\"question\":\"What makes universal TA different from targeted and intensive TA?\",\"answer\":\"Universal TA is recipient-driven, allowing individuals or groups to explore content and resources independently rather than entering a collaborative partnership.\"},{\"question\":\"What are common ways universal TA information is delivered?\",\"answer\":\"Universal TA information is shared through downloadable products like newsletters and guidance documents, plus communications such as telephone, email, and invitations to conferences or workshops.\"}]","Targeted Assistance in Action Brief - Universal Technical Assistance | PDF",1792060712]
