Technical Assistance Facilitators
The State Performance Plan-Technical Assistance Project (SPP-TAP) Technical Assistance (TA) Facilitators have been a crucial support component of the SPP-TAP since 2009 as they provide ongoing support to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in their development and implementation of Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services. They are a diverse group of professionals spread throughout California with a unique set of skills, knowledge, and experience.
How TA Facilitators Support LEAs
SPP-TAP TA Facilitators can support an LEA utilizing one of the following options.
- An LEA can select one of the Lead SPP-TAP TA Facilitators to be their sole support provider.
- An LEA can contract with one of the Lead SPP-TAP TA Facilitators who will bring in additional Facilitators to conduct specific tasks (e.g., data analysis, focus group facilitation, record reviews). The contracted SPP-TAP TA Facilitator will serve as a Lead TA Facilitator and will coordinate support services to the LEA.
- LEAs can work together, regionally or under a SELPA, to contract with a Lead SPP-TAP TA Facilitator to coordinate a team of TA Facilitators to provide support services to the group of LEAs

Ta Facilitator Selection And Training
The State Performance Plan Technical Assistance Project (SPP-TAP) Technical Assistance (TA) Facilitators have been selected through a Request for Application (RFA) process and vetted by the California Department of Education (CDE). They are provided with ongoing updates through the SPP-TAP on the most recent requirements from the federal Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) and the CDE and the implications for significant disproportionality. This cadre is provided ongoing support by the SPP-TAP on the nuances of the Compliance and Improvement Monitoring for Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CIM for CCEIS) process. Their collaboration includes cross-training in their individual areas of expertise and networking with other state and national experts to share resources and information on best practices and successful strategies for addressing disproportionality.
