Specialized Service Professionals Guidance

The purpose of these guidance documents is to highlight possible approaches for districts and BOCES to consider when selecting their measures of student outcomes for use in specialized service professional evaluation systems. 

In addition to the guidance document, sample outcome measures have been provided for each SSP.

These sample outcomes measures were created by work group members who are practicing professionals in the field. These sample measures are meant to serve as a support to districts when making selections; they are not requirements. CDE will be collecting on-going feedback to improve these documents. Guidance will be revised annually with refined versions released each summer in order to reflect increased understanding and emerging best practices.
