Most school improvement plans, no matter how well-intentioned, are missing several key elements:
They identify important changes to be made, yet often try to do too much at once. They focus on making technical changes, while ignoring school culture. They are based on data, but often fail to address root causes of student under-performance. They identify what to do, but fail to make explicit how it will be done and who will do it
This 2-day workshop draws from McREL's comprehensive approach to school improvement, Success in Sight. School leadership teams are introduced to a structured process that allows them to develop a new kind of school improvement plan—a Success in Sight improvement plan which is designed to address the shortcomings of typical improvement plans. In this workshop, you'll learn:
The importance of asking why and digging deep into data to guide school improvement and assess progress. Where research says schools should focus their efforts. How quick wins can begin to transform school culture, create a "can do" attitude, or sense of "collective efficacy" among staff. How to "think systemically, yet act systematically," starting with small, manageable changes that grow into ever larger, more comprehensive school improvement efforts
