Creating a School Improvement Plan is a big investment of time, effort, and expertise from school leaders, community members and other stakeholders. But by itself, your School School Improvement plan is just a starting point. The real endpoint is driving\u00a0 student outcomes – you have to implement your plan with high fidelity for students to benefit.<\/p>\n
There are ample resources that can be used to create an improvement plan but very few educators have any formal training in creating the systems used to implement, monitor, and respond to improvement plan efforts. Today, School and District leader training for implementing programmatic changes is almost entirely trial and error on the job training.<\/p>\n
The adaptive challenges of actually implementing your school improvement plan are incredibly difficult and require discipline, visibility, vulnerability and collaboration – all while the clock is ticking – especially for at risk schools.<\/p>\n
As educators who have deeply engaged with school improvement, both with our own schools and partner schools, we know that most school improvement plans fall short because the essential link between planning, implementation and student outcomes is broken. What we mean by this is that educators are really good about setting goals and defining the strategies to reach those goals. But then school happens and implementation often falls to the wayside.<\/p>\n
School Improvement plans require changes to adult behaviour and without systems in place to reinforce those changes, educators will revert to doing what they had been doing – which means not actually implementing the School Improvement Plan.<\/p>\n
