Focus: School Improvement Plan (SIP)
SIP includes Four Components
I: Data and Analysis
II. Action Plan
III. Plan Development, Review, and Implementation
IV. Board Action
What Makes a Successful Plan? Connections and relationships are clear.
Data and Analysis
Strategies & Activities Monitoring Process
Roles, responsibilities, and expectations are defined. (administrators, teachers, students, parents, others)
Focus is on changing instructional practice in the classrooms and improving student achievement.
Section I: Data and Analysis
I.A: Record Card Data IIRC includes data comparisons 2002 to 2010.
AYP information Assessment data – reading & mathematics School information Educator data
AYP Calculations & Trends
To make AYP, a district or school
must meet ALL
of the following three requirements:
1. Participation Rate on State Assessment
2. Performance (Reading and Mathematics)
3. Attendance/Graduation Rate
Section I: Data and Analysis Identify:
Areas of weakness and strengths
Contributing external and internal factors
Conclusions:
1. What do these factors imply for the next steps in school improvement planning?
2. What can be addressed by the school?
Section I ContinuedI.B: Local Assessment Data (optional) Local assessment data and analysis that are
directly related to the identified strategies and activities and relate to the AYP results can be critical to the success of the plan.
I-C: Other Data (optional) Other data help to define the current situation
that exists in the school and/or community and are relevant to the school not making AYP.
Section I ContinuedI.C: Item 1 – Attributes & Challenges Description and analysis of the school and
community attributes and challenges that have affected student performance.
I-C: Item 2 – Education Qualifications, Staff Capacity, and Professional Development.
Description and analysis of each of the listed components.
Section I ContinuedI.C: Item 3 – Parent Involvement Description and analysis of the parental
involvement – knowing that parents are to be actively engaged in the educational process.
I-D: Key Factors (CRITICAL) Prioritize the factors identified in I-A, I-B, and I-
C that staff can change or influence. Use these to develop the Action Plan, including
strategies and activities for students, educators, and parents.
Section II – Action PlanObjectives must - Identify the current achievement level Be measurable outcomes in terms of the AYP
achieved for EACH year of the plan. (Plan must span two years.)
Focus on fundamental teaching and learning issues
Ensure that each subgroup meets the State’s target
Objective: While the current achievement in math for students with disabilities subgroup is 46.5% meeting/exceeding for ISAT, this subgroup will make AYP of at least 77.5% in 2010 and 85% for 2011 or Safe Harbor.
Strategies:1 double block math instruction2 coaching for math staff3 student and staff review of student work4 improve test taking skills5 progress monitoring to drive instruction
Section II – Action Plan
II: Strategies and Activities
II-B: Students
II-C: Professional Development
II-D: Parent Involvement
II-E: Monitoring (for each objective)
Clarity is KEY
The plan users must know
what is expected of them
to
implement the plan with fidelity
and monitor progress.
Defining Strategies & Activities Are the strategies and activities necessary for the
students, educators, and parents?
Do they incorporate on-going successful strategies and activities?
Will these effectively change instructional practice and improve student achievement?
Can these be monitored (observed and measured)?
Section III: Plan Development, Review, and Implementation
Descriptions of each: Part A: Parent
Notification Part B: Stakeholder
Involvement Part C: Peer Review
Process Part D: Teacher
Mentoring Process
Part E: District ResponsibilitiesAs Applicable:- Corrective Actions- Restructuring Options
Part F: State Responsibilities
Part G: School Support Team
Section IV: Board Action
The plan must be approved
by the
