Developing your Strategic Improvement Plan

These steps outline the process to develop your Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP).

1. Consult the community around the findings of the situational analysis

• Determine through consultation:
  • school vision statement
  • school context
  • strategic directions.

2. Develop your Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP)

Note: your Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP) will be published on your school's website.

• Write a new Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP) in SPaRO including:
  • strategic directions
  • purpose statements
  • improvement measures
  • initiatives
  • success criteria
  • evaluation plan.

3. Develop your implementation and progress monitoring plan

Note: this is an internal school document.

• Map improvement measures to develop annual progress measures.
• Determine for each initiative the year’s activities required to achieve the annual progress measure.
  
• Determine for each activity the:
  • implementation team (who)
  • commencement timeframe (when)
  • resources required
  • links to School Excellence Framework themes.
• Complete the evaluation for each activity after considering sources of evidence.

4. DEL and principal conversation and SIP approval

• Principal and Director, Educational Leadership (DEL) use the conversation guide to discuss each aspect of the Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP).
• After ongoing conversations:
  • all aspects are endorsed by both the principal and the DEL
  • Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP) is approved by the DEL
  • Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP) is published.
