School Improvement Plans
2013-14

What is our vision for school improvement planning?
 The Vision
A collaborative, data-based problem-solving and planning
process in every school and district which leads to increased
student achievement, facilitated by an online tool configured
to:
 Progress

Reduce administrative burden by consolidating and
aligning various required state and federal plans

Improve local decision making by presenting Florida’s
current and emerging data sources (school grades, FCAT,
value added model, interim assessments) to principals and
district administrators in the context of focused planning
and problem solving

Increase the degree to which successful local innovations
are shared across Florida’s districts.

How are we moving toward this vision in 13-14?
• Compliance burden on districts and schools is reduced
School
Improvement
 The Vision
• All requirements of the Title I Schoolwide and Targeted
Assistance plans are satisfied by the SIP
 Progress
 Plan Components
 Problem-Solving
• The SIP is completed online, allowing users to edit as
needed throughout the year, aggregate and analyze
information, and more easily monitor implementation
• The 8-step problem-solving process brings focus

 The Vision
Part III: Coordination and Integration (Title I
Requirement) – describe how the school
coordinates funds provided by various Title
programs to meet common goals
 Progress
 SIP Components
 Problem-Solving
Part IV: Professional Development – outline pd
activities that were identified to meet goals (will
be tagged to strategies created in Part II, if
identified as a pd item)
Part V: Budget – create a budget for each schoolfunded activity identified to meet goals (will be
tagged to activities created in Part II, if identified
as a budget item)

What is the difference between a Target and a Goal?
School
Improvement
 The Vision
 Progress
 SIP Components
 Problem-Solving
For the purposes of the SIP, targets are numeric measures in
each content area
Target Example:
Students scoring at level 3 on FCAT 2.0 Reading = 70%
Goals are measurable but may not be numeric; goals should
support 1 or more targets and may cross content areas
Goal Example:
Increase student engagement during instructional delivery
through the use of purposeful peer-to-peer discourse.
If we problem-solve and create an action plan for this goal,
what targets will increase as a consequence?

What is the 8-step problem-solving process?

What is the Mid-Year Reflection?
Has the goal
been achieved?
If yes, based on
what evidence?
If no, is progress
being made?
If yes, based on
what evidence?
If no, have barriers
been eliminated or
reduced?
If yes, based on
what evidence?
If no, are strategies
implemented with
fidelity?
If yes, re-engage the
problem solving
process at Step 4
If no, problem solve
around
implementation
