CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION TEAM

This plan was developed/or revised during the following time period (e.g. April, May – September 2009): August - October 2009

Provide a brief description of the planning process, including how teachers will be involved in decisions regarding the use of state academic assessments, and other data sources in order to provide information on and to improve the achievement of individual students and the overall instructional program and how parents were involved with faculty and staff in developing, and implementing the CIP (Title I, Section 1116(b)(A)(viii):

In August 2009, the leadership team met and reviewed the 2008-2009 Continuous Improvement Plan to assess the degree to which implemented strategies had been met. The information will be shared with all staff and interested parents. The staff and parents will provide input on the following: which elements have been successfully mastered and should not be included in the next year’s plan; the elements that have been mastered but still require continued monitoring during the 2009-2010 school year; the elements that have not been mastered and must be included in the 2009-2010 CIP. The school leadership team, and school staff will convene to disaggregate standardized assessment data, PBS survey data, School Incident Report, PEPE data, and other local data. The Parental Involvement Team, the School Leadership Team, and parents will provide input into the construction of a survey regarding school culture. This survey will be sent home and completed by all parents. The faculty and staff will complete a school cultural survey. The School Leadership Team (including parent members) will reconvene to disaggregate survey data including subgroups. Results will be shared with school faculty, staff, and parents. Faculty, staff, and parents will be asked for their input. The School Leadership Team will meet to suggest strategies, professional development, and budget requirements for the CIP plan. When the draft is completed, faculty and staff will review it and suggest modifications if needed. The CIP for the 2009-2010 school year will then be published and shared with the district Roundtable. Requested modifications will be examined and decisions made by School Leadership Team and faculty/staff. The finalized CIP will be sent to the district’s school board for approval and signatures.
