Planning Model for School Improvement
The Continuous Improvement Cycle
Using a cycle matrix, expand on each element of this planning model; i.e. clarifying what needs to be done in each section and who is doing it.
How Do We Create A Plan?
Handout: School Improvement Planning (pages 40 – 46)
Create 4 reading teams Each team will read the section that aligns with
their number. Team 1 – Forming Action Teams - pp. 40-41 Team 2 – Setting Goals - pp. 42-43 Team 3 – Developing Strategies - pp. 43-44 Team 4 – Establishing Responsibilities - pp. 45-46
Prepare to share the main idea of your section and connect it to planning, school mission, and vision.
