Learning Objectives
• Learn the fundamentals of the Unified Improvement Planning (UIP) process.
• Understand how to access resources about Unified Improvement Planning.
• Begin thinking about the needs of student with disabilities in the UIP process.

Unified Improvement Planning• Through the Colorado Educational Accountability Act of
2009 (SB09-163)…– All schools and districts must annually develop and submit an
improvement plan. The plan streamlines federal and state accountability systems and reporting requirements.
– Plans must include:
• Data Analysis: trends, performance challenges, root causes
• Action Planning: targets, interim measures, major improvement strategies, action steps, implementation benchmarks
• Aligned with ESEA (Titles I, IIA, III), State Graduation Completion Plans and various grant requirements.
4
What is Unified Improvement Planning?• A common format for schools and for districts to document
improvement planning efforts.• A system to align improvement planning requirements for
state and federal accountability into a “single” plan.• A statewide strategy to promote improvement planning
based on best-practice, including key features:– Driven by state and local data– Continuous improvement cycle
• A mechanism for triggering additional supports through CDE (especially for schools/districts with a Priority Improvement or Turnaround plan type).
• A consistent way for any stakeholder to examine plans.

District & School Performance FrameworksThrough the Colorado Educational Accountability Act of
2009 (SB09-163)…• CDE annually evaluates districts and schools based on student
performance outcomes.
• All districts receive a District Performance Framework (DPF). This determines their accreditation rating.
• All schools receive a School Performance Framework (SPF). This determines their school plan types.
• Provide a common framework through which to understand performance and focus improvement efforts.
