Report on School Development Plan for Previous Year (2 – 3 pages)

In the template below, write in the goal and objectives for each goal, and a brief evaluation of each objective (i.e., progress made to date in achieving the objective). The evaluation of last year’s objectives for each goal, with the analysis of the school’s current data, help inform the development of the plan for the current year.

An evaluation of each objective includes:

Revisit the strategies and their respective indicators from the plan
Determine which strategies were successfully implemented and which were not, based on the indicators
Provide an explanation for those strategies that were unsuccessful

Included in this section is an Operational Issues Report. State the operational issues as outlined in the previous plan. List the actions that were taken to address the issues as well as comment, in the evaluation section, on how effective the actions were. If the issue was not adequately addressed, it should be carried forward to the current plan with new actions.

While a school endeavors to meet the target dates of its 3 – 4 year plan, it recognizes that its plan is flexible and that revisions may occur annually.

This section outlines the School Development Plan for the current year. The templates list the goals, objectives, intended strategies, indicators of success and support plans. Also included in this section is the Operational Issues Report.
