Degree of Implementation and the Evidence of Implementation.

The Predictor Implementation School/ District Self-Assessment (PISA) is intended to provide schools, districts, or other stakeholders in secondary transition with a framework for determining the degree to which their program is implementing practices that are likely to lead to more positive post-school outcomes for students with disabilities. The predictor categories listed have been extracted from high quality correlational research including students with disabilities. The operational definitions and essential program characteristics were derived from experts in the field through a Delphi study (Rowe et al., 2014).
