School Improvement Plan Format

2012-13

Introduction

Each Fulton County school should utilize three documents to communicate performance and a plan for improvement.

The School Improvement Detailed Plan is for the management of the plan within the school and generally shared with the LSAC and school staff. It describes the priority objectives for improvement and major initiatives, and also delineates performance measures, action steps and progress monitoring. The priority objectives and major initiatives should remain relatively constant over a three-year period so that meaningful improvement can take place.

The Annual Performance Report is intended for the full school community. It is a retrospective picture of the school’s past performance on standardized tests. It shows how the school compares with the county overall. It also includes other school accomplishments and recognitions.

The School Improvement Plan Summary can be provided to the full school community along with the Annual Performance Report. The School Improvement Plan Summary lists the priority improvement objectives and major initiatives.

Below is the format for the School Improvement Detailed Plan, and example of a Detailed Plan and Summary.

STEP 1:

Identify 3-5 specific areas for improvement for students in your school. These are your objectives. Objectives can address overall subject areas or content areas within subject areas. Objectives may also address areas of student behavior (ex. attendance, discipline).

Underneath each objective list the related data to be reported to determine if improvement efforts have been successful … these are your measures. Please include baseline (or historical) data for each measure, if available, and targets for achievement for 2012-13 through 2014-15. Note that data for both leading indicators (ex. tardy or attendance data, cumulative Checkpoints proficiency, common assessments) or lagging indicators (ex. CRCT, EOCT, ITBS) can be included as a measure

Add more objective templates as needed, but ideally no more than a total of five.

STEP 2:

What will be done to foster improvement in the areas identified in Step 1? These are your initiatives. Initiatives can be school-wide or be centered around a specific objective. Initiatives are not programs; initiatives are what people will do differently or in an enhanced way to support improvement. If the initiative is related to a specific objective, please include the number of the objective; if the objective is general, leave this area blank. No more than 5 initiatives should be included.

The following information should be included for each initiative:

·  Action steps (or specific tasks) to be taken during the 2012-13 school year to support the initiative.

·  Person responsible for monitoring the initiative.

·  Data, or other indicators, that will be used to monitor the initiative.
