This guide builds on ED guidance and provides an initial set of tools to help states and districts understand and plan for implementing evidence-based improvement strategies.

The primary audience for this guide is state education agency (SEA) staff who are responsible for understanding and implementing the evidence-based provisions of ESSA. Because SEAs vary widely in their organizational structures and in the titles of different positions, this guide refers generally to SEAs or SEA staff, leaving to each state and its technical assistance providers, such as Regional Comprehensive Centers (RCCs) and Regional Educational Laboratories (RELs), the determination of who should be engaged.
