The Standards for Excellence Institute has developed 22 educational resource packets that are intended to assist individual organizations to implement specific standards. These materials are available to all Standards for Excellence Institute members free of charge.   State-specific versions of these packets are also available through Standards for Excellence replication partners to organizations they serve.  Click here for a list of Standards for Excellence replication partners.

The educational resource packets generally include information on the importance of implementing specific standards, justification for the standards, best practices associated with the issue, model procedures and sample policies.
