SEA Implementation Capabilities Framework
2
Introduction
3
4
The Implementation Capabilities Framework (ICF) has been developed to understand what it takes for local and state education agencies (LEAs and SEAs), Collaboratives of education agencies (CEAs) and Educator Prep Programs (EPPs) to successfully implement a well-designed and well-used information and reporting architecture with Ed-Fi as a core component. To accomplish such an implementation and make use of the Ed-Fi technology over time, an education entity needs to have (or have access to) certain skills, processes and tools. These skills, processes and tools can be catalogued as capabilities. Before beginning (or extending) an Ed-Fi initiative, it is important to know where an implementing agency is related to the needed capabilities.

An ICF has three focus areas: Organizational and Leadership Management (OM), Technology Systems (TS) and for an SEA, Program Area Engagement (PA). Each area is organized with capabilities, processes and actions over four phases - Prepare to put in place before initiating the reporting architecture project, Implement to complete during the implementation of the project, Improve to incorporate with the architecture to ensure ongoing support and sustainability and Maximize to achieve the power of Ed-Fi’s real-time interoperability, comprehensive data store and shared ecosystem.

The SEA ICF is color coded:
10
Black = SEA Internal Action
11
Red = SEA Action in Collaboration with LEAs
12
Blue = SEA and LEA are BOTH responsible for ensuring this action is completed/addressed
