State Support Team 11

SST 11 provides services and technical assistance at no cost to schools and families in Central Ohio.

Ohio uses a tiered system of support—state, regional, district—to create a single unified system that can meaningfully build the capacity of every district to move all children to higher levels of academic achievement. The State Support Team Region 11 (SST 11) is one of Ohio's 16 regional SSTs. Using a connected set of tools to improve instructional practice and student performance on a continuing

basis, SST 11 staff assists districts in the development of a unified system of education. This unified system builds the capacity of every district to move all students, including those with disabilities, to higher levels of performance. The reliance on data to determine appropriate actions of each district is integral to the success of Ohio's system of support. SST 11 works closely with the Ohio Department of Education's Center for School Improvement, Office for Exceptional Children, and the Office of Early Learning and School Readiness. SST 11 provides services and technical assistance to school districts, educational service centers (ESCs), community schools, early childhood centers, and families in 8 central Ohio counties. The focus areas of our work are:

School Improvement,
Special Education,
Early Learning and School Readiness, and
Families.

☀️📚 Last week, several SST 11 consultants had the opportunity to attend the 2026 Summer Conference hosted by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC)!

The conference provided valuable learning experiences focused on evidence-based practices, innovative strategies, and the latest developments in special education. Our team enjoyed connecting with educators and leaders from across the country while gathering resources and ideas to better support students, families, and educators throughout our region.

❤️🖤💚 Today, we recognize and celebrate Juneteenth — a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and honors the resilience, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans throughout history.

Juneteenth is both a celebration of freedom and a reminder of the ongoing work to create communities where every individual is valued, included, and empowered to succeed.

At SST11, we believe that education plays a vital role in fostering understanding, opportunity, belonging, and equity for all learners. As we commemorate this important day, we encourage reflection, learning, and meaningful conversations about our shared history and the future we are building together.

❤️🖤💚

💚 The most meaningful learning happens when students can see the impact of their work.

Projects like this help students build technical skills, solve real problems, contribute to their community, and leave a lasting legacy for future students. When learning is connected to purpose, everyone benefits. 📚🛠️

We love seeing students given opportunities to create, contribute, and make a difference.
