SSP/ESSP/SSP-LO Assessment Tools Go Online
The SSP, ESSP, and SSP-Learning Organization assessment tools are now available online through our partner company, Flying Bridge Technologies (www.schoolsuccessonline.com). According to Dr. Gary Bowen, after years of development, pilot testing, and use of hard copy SSP-related assessment tools, Flying Bridge Technologies brings these products into the 21st Century with online registering, administration, scoring, and delivery. The new online system improves product delivery, service responsiveness, and cost effectiveness. All three assessment tools have undergone modifications with the SSP receiving a significant revision, including a reduction in the number of items from 220 to 195 and a conversion of all response continuums to 3- and 4-point scales.

The authors begin with a brief overview of the SSP, including its content, development, administration, summary profiles, and prior research. Professor Cynthia Franklin, School of Social Work, The University of Texas at Austin, wrote the foreword for the book. Copies of the book can be ordered online.
