  1. School Improvement Planning2014-15 A Guide to the Florida Continuous Improvement Management System

  2. School Improvement Plan (SIP) The purpose of the SIP is to provide guidance for implementing a process of continuous improvement. Shifts in practice are necessary to bring about change. The SIP provides a framework for identifying areas of weakness, and allows the school to focus on the most constructive shifts and practices to strengthen teaching and learning.

  3. Introduction to the Continuous Improvement Management System (CIMS)

  5. You will need to give Level 1 access to all the users in your building who will be listed in the SIP (except EESAC members.)

  9. Early Warning Indicators The Early Warning System (EWS) is based on extensive research that identifies key factors, called indicators, that are highly predictive of potential student failure, especially in terms of students dropping out of school.

  10. Because the goal of schooling is to develop students who are college- and career-ready, EWS indicators help to identify struggling students in order to provide appropriate support and intervention in a timely manner

  11. Along with the indicators listed above, list the additional indicators that you are using.

  12. Along with the indicators listed above, click +Add Another until you have listed all additional indicators that you are using.

  13. Middle School Grades must be listed separately, all others may be listed either by grade or total

  14. In the last box, describe all intervention strategies employed by the school to improve the academic performance of students identified by the early warning system (i.e., those exhibiting two or more early warning indicators).

  16. Part II – Needs Assessment Step Zero Conducting a needs assessment should be a collaborative experience and will involve looking at student data and current practice. http://www.floridacims.org

  18. Part III – 8-Step Planning and Problem Solving

  19. Based on the needs at your school, the resources available and the time allotted, develop the following goals: • Goal 1: Core Instruction • Goal 2: Early Warning Systems • Goal 3: STEM/CTE • Goal 4: Parent Involvement

  20. Goal 1: Core Instruction • The Core instruction Goal is a strategic goal that leads to continuous improvement. The goal will: • support targets and cross content areas. • Be measurable but not numeric. • be rigorous but attainable within the timeframe allotted • Guiding Questions • What can be done to increase the effectiveness of core instruction? • How can available resources be utilized and instructional time maximized to increase student achievement? • How are teachers supported in the delivery of effective instruction?

  21. Goal 2: Early Warning Systems (EWS) • The EWS goal will focus on providing interventions and strategies in order to address specific elements in the areas of attendance, behavior, and academic performance that will lead to greater success for students identified as at-risk. • Guiding Questions • What specific research-based strategies can be utilized with identified students to help them become more successful? • How can a flexible and effective plan be developed to meet the needs of at-risk student? • How can the use of available school resources be maximized in order to provide effective interventions to at-risk students?

  22. Goal 3: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) & Career Technical Education (CTE) • The school’s STEM/CTE goal is a strategic goal to prepare students to be college and career ready through STEM and/or CTE initiatives and programs. All schools will develop strategies for STEM. Schools with current or future planned CTE programs will also include strategies for CTE. • Guiding Questions: • What resources are provided by the district to engage students in STEM-related activities? • How do STEM and CTE strategies strengthen our current instructional programs? • How can our CTE program be improved or expanded to increase student success?

  23. Goal 4: Parental Involvement • The Parent Involvement Goal is focused on building strong, continuing family and community involvement in all aspects of school programs and activities in support of measurable improvement in student achievement. • *Title 1 schools will complete the Parental Involvement Plan (PIP) • Guiding Questions: • How can we assist parents in supporting student achievement, and foster a positive attitude towards school and learning? • How can the available technology resources be used to ensure parents take an active part in school activities? • How can parental support be targeted to create a multi-dimensional program that meets the need of the “whole” child?

  24. If you had a 2013-2014 School Improvement Plan, you will see all of the goals from last year in the boxes. It is recommended that you delete all the goals from last year before you enter any responses for this year.

  25. Step 1 - Goals Step 1a will describe an action that you will take, school-wide, to increase student achievement. Step 1b will indicate the targets for the goal. Most goals will have several targets. Some targets are for all students and some are for selected groups.

  28. Step 2 – Resources and Barriers Enter your barriers or barrier buckets one at a time. Use the +Add Barrier button to add each one. Add all the resources available to reach the goal. Be sure to “Save” before moving on.

  29. Step 3 – Selecting the Barrier

  30. Step 4 – The Strategy If you do not “select” a strategy, you can’t move to Step 5. Be sure to “Save” before moving on.

  31. Step 5 – Developing the Action Plan

  32. Monitoring As you work through the Action Plan, you will look for evidence that the Action Steps have been completed. Steps 6-8 of the 8-Step Problem Solving Process are also monitoring steps. In Step 6, you will monitor the Action Plan for fidelity. In Step 7, you will monitor the Action Plan for effectiveness. In Step 8, you will monitor the Goal for progress. Note: For each goal, you will have only one Step 8 but you will have a Step 6 and a Step 7 for each strategy.

  33. Step 6 – Monitoring for Fidelity

  34. Step 7 – Monitoring for Effectiveness

  35. Step 8 – Monitoring the Goal for Progress

  36. Check for Completion Each page must be marked “complete” or “NA “. Be sure to “Save”
