State Support Team 11

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 supportβ€”state, regional, districtβ€”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.

πŸ’š 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. πŸ“šπŸ› οΈ

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

πŸ“šβœ¨ Learning, Growing, and Leading in Literacy! βœ¨πŸ“š

This week, State Support Team Region 11 consultants had the opportunity to attend the 2026 ReadOhio Literacy Academy, engaging in professional learning focused on evidence-based literacy practices and the Science of Reading.

We are excited to bring back new knowledge, resources, and strategies to support educators and students across our region. Investing in literacy is investing in student success, and we are grateful for opportunities to continue learning alongside literacy leaders from across Ohio.

So proud to see Project SEARCH highlighted in this news story! πŸŽ‰πŸ‘ While this feature focuses on Columbus City Schools, we are fortunate to have several Project SEARCH programs throughout our region, all working to create meaningful employment opportunities for students with disabilities. ❀️

Programs like Project SEARCH show what is possible when schools, families, businesses, job coaches, and community partners come together to support students as they transition into adulthood. πŸ€πŸ«πŸ’Ό

Graduation from these programs is about so much more than completing a school year. πŸŽ“βœ¨ It represents growth, confidence, independence, employability skills, and the belief that every student deserves the opportunity to contribute their strengths in the workplace and community. 🌟

Congratulations to the graduates featured in this story, and to all of the Project SEARCH graduates across our region! πŸŽ‰πŸ‘ Your hard work deserves to be celebrated. β€οΈπŸŽ“
