Directions

This Site Action Plan (SAP) is a tool designed to help your ERIA Site Team ask and answer key implementation questions as you plan (and reflect on) the process of developing and implementing ERIA over the years.
- Answering these key questions will also help you in completing the ERIA Site Team Implementation Checklist (TIC)
This Site Action Plan will become a living document that tells the unique story of ERIA at your school, so:
- Date each entry.
- Type in responses as you go, using as much room as you need for each question.
- Under each question, type in both what you plan to do as well as giving updates on what you have actually done or are doing.
Your Site Team should update this SAP at least twice each year, once in the fall and once in the spring (within two months of the beginning and ending of the school year) at the same time as you complete the TICs. It would also be good to revisit the SAP midyear to check on your progress and course correct.
- Email this SAP (and the TIC) to your Coordinating Coach as soon as your site completes them in the fall and again in the spring. They will use it to help them understand the needs and plans of your site.
- Your Coordinating Coach will pass your completed SAP to the CalSTAT Evaluators, who will look across all the ERIA sites to learn about the various approaches being used and the challenges and needs of sites.
