Guidelines for School Improvement Planning

Purpose of School Improvement Plan (SIP)

The improvement planning process provides a framework to ensure continuous improvement in each school and alignment with the vision, mission, goals, and values of the overall school division. Improvement plans are completed at the start of each school year by Division leaders to provide focus in planning for continuous improvement. They are updated on a quarterly basis using key performance indicators (KPIs) that demonstrate progress towards stated goals.

Role of School Improvement Team

The primary objective of the School Improvement Team (SIT) is to coordinate the development and implementation of the school’s goals, objectives and strategies in support of student success and a positive school community.

Within schools, principals work with their SIT to develop their improvement plan. The SIT’s purpose is to support the school and the school division through the school improvement planning process.

Improvement Planning Timeline

09/21/2012 – Original SIPs Due Sept 2012 – State of the School Address Delivered11/09/2012 – Q1 Updates Due02/01/2013 – Q2 Updates Due04/11/2013 – Q3 Updates Due06/21/2013 – Q4/EOY Updates Due

The entire school community needs to know the SIP. It is presented at the State of the School address and posted on the Division’s Improvement Planning web site. Principals are responsible for submission of quarterly updates to [email protected] by the published due dates. These dates are communicated prior to the start of the school year and are recorded in the Division Outlook calendar. Due dates generally fall two weeks after the end of the 9-week grading period.

Makeup of School Improvement Team

The improvement planning process should include views from the larger school community. As such, the School Improvement Team (SIT) should include faculty, staff, and parent representatives. High schools should include a student representative. Community representatives are also encouraged.

Reflective Questions to Support the Improvement Planning Process

Prior to Implementation

How is the plan in alignment with the Vision, Mission, and Goals of the Division? How does the plan address specific Board Priorities? How does the plan address high priority school and student needs? How are the views of the larger school/department community represented in the plan? How does the plan represent an attempt to significantly improve the performance of all students? Is the plan clear, simply stated and concise? Is each objective written to reflect adequate progress that is substantive and measurable and allows the school room for growth? What data/gap evidence is used to support the proposed objective? What research-based proven strategies or action steps are identified for implementation? Are potential obstacles clearly identified? Are the performance measures clearly defined?

During Implementation

How is the implementation being monitored? Are “midcourse corrections” being identified as needed? How is the implementation process being documented? What is the evidence of the plan’s implementation within the school building? How are the quarterly progress updates being communicated to the larger school community? What is the school leader personally doing to support the implementation?

Upon Completion

Has sufficient progress been achieved? What is the evidence of this? How will this year’s data be used to identify needs and objectives for next year’s plan?

State of the School GuidelinesAt the start of each school year, principals should deliver a State of the School address to parents and the community. The State of the School address should present the successes and challenges the school faced the previous school year. It is also an opportunity to share information about the faculty and staff, the school improvement plan, student achievement data, school climate, and other information people will be interested in knowing. It is the occasion to share the school’s story with the school community and to set the tone for the year.
