What Happens When Practice Set Targets and Actions is Delivered with Fidelity

The Practice of Setting Targets and Actions  

A School Improvement Plan (SIP) sets out how the school team will improve their school and their students’ outcomes. It may be focused only on the central areas of teaching practices and learning outcomes for students. Or it may also focus on school-wide strategies around student welfare and behaviour, community engagement, school culture and the school environment.  

  

What It Achieves 

Through setting targets and actions, the school team actively fosters community leadership through engaged parents and develops positive high expectations for the school and community, leading to improved student and school results.  

  

More Detail   

The SIP outlines what actions will be taken, by whom and the timeframe to improve student engagement, attendance and learning outcomes. The principal analyses data to identify structural and instructional factors in need of improvement within the school and sets the standard for improvement outcomes. They evaluate the school team’s improvement process and support staff when issues arise.  

The instruction coach assists the principal by assigning professional development to the teaching team and observing teaching practice aligned with the SIP goals.  

The teaching team collects vital data on how their students are mastering the content and how to improve their teaching to best respond to student needs and lift student results.
