NCEO facilitated six virtual meetings for state education agency (SEA) staff, including state special education and assessment office representatives, and parent center representatives from October through December 2023. The content of this discussion guide was informed by the PLG participants, and is a summary of the information, strategies, and resources that were shared during the PLG.  \nList of States Participating in PLG  \nStaff from eight states participated in the virtual meetings. This guide would not exist had it not been for their active participation. The participating states were: California, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Oregon, South Carolina, and Texas.  \n~~Table of Contents ~~  \nAcknowledgements................................................................................................................. iii  \nList of States Participating in PLG ........................................................................................ iii  \nIntroduction .............................................................................................................................. 1  \nPurpose .............................................................","cbCaipah5sRHpkab","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipah5sRHpkab","pdf",1386536,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose\n# Step 1: Identify Key Stakeholders\n# Step 2: Understand the Assessment Literacy Needs of Stakeholders\n# Step 3: Make Data Accessible to All Stakeholders\n# Step 4: Consider Communication Strategies for the Target Audience\n# Step 5: Disseminate Accurate Information\n# Conclusion\n# References\n# Appendix A: Resources\n# Appendix B: Federal Requirements Regarding Stakeholder Engagement","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this updated state discussion guide (NCEO Report 448)?\",\"answer\":\"It supports state education agency staff in communicating assessment-related information with SSIP stakeholders to help advance state-identified measurable results (SiMRs).\"},{\"question\":\"How does the guide recommend identifying the right stakeholders for SSIPs?\",\"answer\":\"It provides Step 1 to identify key stakeholders, including the roles needed across SSIP planning, implementation, and evaluation stages.\"},{\"question\":\"What steps does the guide cover for making assessment data useful to stakeholders?\",\"answer\":\"It outlines Step 2 through Step 5: assess stakeholders’ assessment literacy needs, make data accessible, choose communication strategies for the target audience, and disseminate accurate information.\"}]","Updated State Discussion Guide - Communicating Assessment Data to Empower SSIP Stakeholders - NCEO Report 448 | PDF",1792057185]
