The RDSPD Program Review Process uses 34 indicators, which have been identified as essential components of an effective program for students who are DHH. These indicators have been organized into seven domains:

• early identification and intervention,
• assessment for special education,
• student programming and placement,
• student instruction,
• progress monitoring,
• program-wide policies and procedures, and
• qualified providers.

Each indicator includes guiding questions to help clarify the intent of the indicator. A list of possible artifacts and rubrics have also been developed.

One of the first activities that will be done as a program is to conduct a product reflection, allowing staff to consider what they know they already have in place and what could use some additional work. This reflection will be done annually to help guide continuous improvement. 

The staff self reflection will be completed online, and a PDF report will be emailed to the staff member completing the document. This document can be used by staff members to help with their T-TESS or other measure as part of their professional development growth planning.

This survey will be completed by RDSPD staff electronically and will not be shared with supervisors individually. Once all of the surveys are compiled, the summary will be included in the report prepared by the Peer Review team.

Parents will have the opportunity to respond to an electronic or hard copy survey in English or in Spanish.

SSA members will be provided the opportunity to give feedback by completing an electronic version of this survey. 

When writing a goal, it is important to keep it SMART!

S - Specific

M - Measureable

A - Attainable

R - Relevant

T - Time-Bound

The Action Plan Template provides a place to summarize a plan to accomplish the program goals.
