Let’s Celebrate!
• Many plans• Late data• Challenges with the
template
• But…
![Page 3: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Essentially Targeted Feedback• On data-key factors-
measurable strategies and activities

Tools for a specific endTools for a specific endLess Red TapeWhat’s the impact of the system of
support—with school and district plans as a central document when we – Minimize hoop-jumping– Focus planning on the key audience– Focus on the “sense” of data-key
factors-strategies and activities
More Learning School and district improvement plans
that lead to improved student achievement.

Who is required to submit district and school improvement plans?
• Any school or district in academic status with an expired plan
• Schools that have moved into restructuring implementation
![Page 6: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
When must these be submitted?• 135 days after official
notification for schools• 90 days after…for districts• 6 months for districts
writing restructuring plans for schools
• The “clock” hasn’t started ticking yet.

How?
• All plans submitted via the Interactive Illinois Report Card
• http://iirc.niu.edu
Your area RESPRO can assist in completing these plans; I’m glad to help as well!

2007 template updates—coming soonWord versions of the
template are available for schools and districts from which you can cut and paste material into the 2007 templates when they become available. (fairly soon!)

Harsh Reality
• “perfect” plans ≠ improved student achievement
• Plans are required by NCLB and state law
• Clear and critical need to focus on learning
![Page 13: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“Winning” Plans
• Implemented with fidelity• Measurable• Monitored
![Page 14: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Critical Tip: Key Audience
The primary audience for the plan is the user—those who will implement this plan.
Other audiences--PlannersReviewersWider community
![Page 15: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Critical Tip: Huge AssumptionThat schools and districts
are learning together and implementing these plans
Think of HOW you will implement this plan!
![Page 16: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Critical Tip for Implementing the PlanWhat do users of the plan have to know
to be able to implement the plan with fidelity?
It must be measurable and clearly establish expectations for users.
![Page 17: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Critical Tip: Analyzing Data Beyond AYP
Report Card and other data are more than AYP deficiencies
See the monitoring prompt
Strengths and weaknesses
![Page 18: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Critical TIP: Factors Contributing to Achievement are a BIG deal
Be clear about factors?What’s contributing to the
strengths and weaknesses?
Are these factors internal or external?
![Page 19: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What’sCoarse and fine grain
internal factors
What’s preventing students from learning?
Curriculum related to ILS is not guaranteed to all students
Weak focus on some ILS
Failure to use the intended curriculum by all staff for all kids
Teachers do not have adequate coaching or support to implement strategies
“mile wide and inch deep curriculum”
Teachers aren’t clear about what’s expected in classrooms
Instruction doesn’t span cognitive levels
Insufficient teacher learning/team time
School culture doesn’t reflect “rigor, relevance, relationships”
![Page 20: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Critical Tip: Check for Sufficiency
Does the action plan sufficiently address the areas where improvement is needed?– Does the collection of strategies
for the objectives provide sufficient direction for users?
Greater scrutiny of plans for those in Watch Status
![Page 21: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Critical Tip: Objective StatementsMeasurable • in terms of AYP• as a global objective
Use the objective page to outline strategies, if you’d like.
![Page 22: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Activity
Review pages of Drexel Elem School
Do the strategies and activities relate to the key factors?
Does this provide users of the plan sufficient direction?
![Page 23: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Critical Tip: Strategies to Meet the Objective
Strategies for students necessary to meet the objective– necessary for staff– necessary for parents
What about on-going strategies and activities?What about strategies forglobal objectives?
![Page 24: Tips for SIPs and DIPs](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813fae550346895daa9466/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Critical Tip: use models to help!Share links to plans
With the caveatNo plan is perfect but we can learn
lots from the plans and we have a lot of good ones out there.
The proof will be in the implementing.See: Drexel SIP
