Considerations in the implementation of the School Improvement Plan Essential is to begin with a well-articulated
plan with clear goals, objectives, responsible persons, resources and timelines
Full support from the entire school community Support from Central Office Adequate resources A focus on student achievement for all
subgroups

Effective educational practices

Implementation is not an “event”!
Implementation is a process involving multiple decisions, resources, activities, and stakeholders.
Implementation Success
![Page 21: School Improvement Technical Assistance WebEx](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/5681470b550346895db44252/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Implementation occurs at several levels At the gross level, schools are charged
with implementing the school improvement plan as a whole.
As steps of the school improvement plan are addressed, schools must also implement programs and/or strategies.
At both levels, adherence to the fidelity of implementation is required.
![Page 22: School Improvement Technical Assistance WebEx](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/5681470b550346895db44252/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Considerations in the implementation of the School Improvement Plan The strategies, models, programs,
professional development and other activities must all coordinate to meeting the specific student achievement goal.
![Page 23: School Improvement Technical Assistance WebEx](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/5681470b550346895db44252/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Considerations for implementing programs within the School Improvement Plan Prepare staff by:
Providing training Providing opportunities to practiceProviding coaching as needed though modeling
lessons and observation of instruction with just in time feedback
![Page 24: School Improvement Technical Assistance WebEx](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/5681470b550346895db44252/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Monitoring progress involves communication and a variety of
reporting formats to gather information that helps continuous
planning to occur.
Monitoring – Making Sure the “Plan” is Effectively Implemented
![Page 25: School Improvement Technical Assistance WebEx](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/5681470b550346895db44252/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Define benchmarks within the implementation process concerning
Define objectively verifiable “indicators” Specify sources of verification Assess assumptions, conditions, risks Specify the reporting system
Monitoring Process Considerations

Define monitoring indicators Collect data and information Compare plan targets with current
situation Adjust the plan accordingly Report the findings to stakeholders
How to Conduct Monitoring

The use of data in monitoring the School Improvement Plan It is essential to establish ongoing and
systematic data collection that includes looking at both fidelity of implementation of the program and resulting student achievement
Progress monitor, progress monitor, progress monitor!
Review, review, review! Make course adjustments and look for
“implementation drift”
