ohio’s state support teams (“sst”) are regional extensions of the work of the department of education and workforce (“the department”) that were established under ohio revised code chapter 3312. Ssts partner with prioritized schools and districts identified through decision rules grounded in idea, essa, and ohio law. Sst consultants support these schools and districts in establishing the foundations of their own integrated multi-tiered system of supports (integrated mtss), aligned to ohio’s framework.

This means building coherent systems that strengthen instruction, improve adult practices, and ensure compliance with federal and state requirements. While sustaining a particular emphasis on students with disabilities in alignment with idea, sst consultants help advance statewide priorities (e.g., science of reading and the k-12 math plan), integrate academic and non-academic systems, and ensure that services for both compliance and high-quality instruction reinforce on another to improve student outcomes in literacy, math, and chronic absenteeism.
