Administrative Instructions

Purpose

 
Part of the Illinois ASPIRE project entails assessing on going coaching of the problem solving process at the building level.  The Self-Assessment of Problem Solving Implementation (SAPSI) checklist coaching assessment monitors ongoing efforts to establish effective coaching of the problem solving process. This version of the SAPSI coaching assessment was based on the original SAPSI to determine the impact of coaching.

Administration

The SAPSI coaching assessment is to be administered by the ASPIRE coach with the problem solving team in schools participating as data collection sites under Illinois ASPIRE.

Timeline for administration

The SAPSI coaching assessment is required to be administered and submitted twice each academic year, once in the fall between November 1 and December 1, and once in the spring between May 1 and June 1. Detailed information regarding dates to send data back to Loyola University Chicago are available at the Illinois ASPIRE Program Coordinators Page which is linked from the CSEIT ASPIRE webpage at http://www.luc.edu/cseit/aspire.shtml.

Administration Instructions

Use the due dates provided above in Timeline for Administration. There are two columns; one for the required fall administration and one for any additional administration.  For each of the questions, you can choose if the item is in place or not (yes or no). Unlike the standard SAPSI, you are rating each sub-component individually.

After completing the SAPSI coaching assessment, data are submitted to your district/regional Illinois ASPIRE Program Coordinator or external coach. The Program coordinator will make sure all data are sent to the Center for School Evaluation, Intervention, and Training at Loyola University Chicago by the appropriate deadline for that data collection period.  Deadlines are available at the Illinois ASPIRE Program Coordinators Page which is linked from the CSEIT ASPIRE webpage at http://www.luc.edu/cseit/aspire.shtml.
