  1. Writing a School Improvement PlanHigh Schools

  2. School Improvement Plan Rules and Reg’s School improvement planning is a process of developing, implementing, and integrating activities to maximize human, material, and fiscal resources. Illinois schools have been required to complete a school improvement plan (SIP) since 1986 [Illinois Code: 105 ILCS 5/2-3.63; 23 Illinois Administrative Code, 1.10; H.R. 1 (NCLB) Sec. 1116, p. 86.]

  3. Schools in SIP Status • Public Act 93-0470 explains the requirements for revised school improvement plans for schools in academic status. These requirements indicate that revised school improvement plans for schools in academic early warning status must be approved by the local school board and that plans for schools in academic watch status must be approved by the school board and the State Superintendent of Education. ISBE has developed a school improvement plan rubric to assist schools in the revision of their plans. This rubric will be used to evaluate the school improvement plans submitted to the State Board of Education.

  11. Reading Composite American Indian Asian Black White Multi-Racial Hispanic Students with Disabilities Low Income LEP Math Composite American Indian Asian Black White Multi-Racial Hispanic Students with Disabilities Low Income LEP AYP is determined by making it over all 20 hurdles (10 hurdles for reading and 10 for math) by disaggregation of data.

  12. Template Notes • Optional organizer • WORD doc. - Not a “template” • Remove italicized info • SIPs are public • Consider the readers: parents, peers, administrators, scorers. • Tell the story: charts, tables, narratives, appendices

  13. Components 1.0 AYP Performance Targets (1) 2.0 School Information (3) 3.0 Data/Information Collection (7) 4.0 Data Analysis (6) 5.0 Action Plan (9) 6.0 Professional Development (9) 7.0 Learning Standards Implementation (4) 8.0 Family/Community Involvement (6) 9.0 Support Systems (2) 10.0 Review, Monitoring, and Revision (3)

  14. The AYP Information Page • Test participation • Academic performance • Attendance or graduation rate • 9 subgroups • 41 targets

  15. Illini Equal Steps

  16. 41 Targets • All students category plus 9 subgroups equals 10 groups • Look at the 10 groups in the following areas • % tested in reading (10 targets) • % tested in math (10 targets) • Academic performance in reading (10 targets) • Academic performance in math (10 targets) • Add in 1 point for one of the following • Elementary schools look at attendance • High schools look at graduation rate

  17. Multicultural

  18. AYP Information Page • Review the AYP sheet. • Work with your SIP team to identify your school’s targets (No’s).

  19. 1.0 Performance Targets 1.1 AYP Information from the School Report Card • SIP includes a copy of the AYP info page • Score of 0 – AYP info page is not present • Score of 3 – AYP info page is present Page 1 of School Improvement Plan Template

  20. How to Copy & Paste AYP page from the web • Go to isbe.net • Select Report Card from left of page • Select button for City name • Type in City name • Click on Search • Click your City name • Click on your school name • Scroll to end of report card to find the AYP information page. • Select the snapshot tool to take a picture of the AYP page • Paste this page onto page 1 of the SIP plan
