Act One, Scene One 18 members and supporting members of AK EED and the SSOS team received copies of CII’s “Evaluating the Statewide System of Support” and a letter explaining the plot, setting, characters. Maestro Jon Paden, Administrator of Alaska’s SSOS, is directing the team in re-evaluating key indicators that have products, outcomes, or actions that have not been considered as evidence in current rubric scores. After new scores have been assigned, plans will be developed by the team to improve intensity, duration, and/or quality of specific indicators.
Act One, Scene Two Monitoring Implementation……… This will occur in two ways: Self-monitoring by the SSOS team (monthly) External guidance support from the Alaska Comprehensive Center (quarterly, beginning Winter 2011)
AK STEPP (the future) Future renditions for Act Two and beyond: • Analyses of probable “root causes” to identify successful and unsuccessful strategies for SSOS services. • Perform rigorous evaluations of selected interventions. Now becoming the longest continuously improving SSOS musical in Alaska!!!

To all the CII staff for their knowledge, expertise, support, and guidance. To all our fellow Pacesetter states for their encouragement, willingness to share, and commitment and desire for each of us to succeed.
