-School Strategic Direction

-Needs Assessment

-Data Analysis

-Priority Planning & Reporting

-For each priority area specified:

· Strategies are created. Strategies represent effective practices to be implemented by the school and relevant district staff. All strategies are written as a Theory of Action: If…then…and… If…then…and… If we(the effective practice the school implements),then (what teachers, staff, etc. will do as a result of the effective practice), and (what the students do as a result of the effective practice-student focused goal this strategy supports).

· Milestones are indicators of implementing the strategies.

· For each milestone, action plans are developed detailing the incremental steps in completing a milestone.

· Reporting includes implementation (actions and the outputs finished, milestones completed) and results data (strategy and goal measures)

o Monthly Action Status Reporting should be completed and reviewed by the school leadership team. Any needed adjustments are made to keep the work on track.

o Quarterly reporting is shared with the district and supports are discussed and added or modified as needed.

o At least once a semester, milestone completion should be reviewed and adjustments made to ensure milestones are completed by the end of the school year.

o Annually data from strategies and goals are reviewed to determine if targeted results were seen. Recommendations for next year’s plan are discussed and planning adjusted based on the recommendations.

· The interlaced data (implementation and results) are used to identify responsive supports needed to accomplish the plan and make the needed improvements.

· Supports can be both internal and external and include those needed and received from the district, the state education agency, or from external vendors or contractors.
