The tools charts are some of the most frequently visited resources on the NCII website. Furthermore, current and prior federal legislation and increasingly state legislation, emphasizes the use of educational programs, interventions, and assessments that have an evidence base supporting their effectiveness. State education agencies (SEAs) play an important role in disseminating federal and state policy and guidance to local education agencies (LEAs). Importantly, SEAs can provide a critical bridge to help LEAs interpret and comply with federal legislation within the nuances of local context. This report reviews the reach of the NCII tools charts on SEA websites and within SEA policy. Specifically it finds that over half of the SEA websites mention the NCII tools charts.
