This document serves as a step-by-step guide to SPEP™, beginning with county adoption of SPEP™ through the completion of performance improvement goals and in preparation for SPEP™ reassessment (see lifecycle below). The Task Matrix is comprehensive and not necessarily all inclusive. Details of implementation will vary among stakeholders depending on the context and capacity of each probation department. However, many aspects of adopting and implementing SPEP™ should be very similar across Pennsylvania.
