Improvement (DCSI)
Engage in the Texas
Accountability
Intervention System
(TAIS) continuous
improvement process
Evaluate current
campus staff
Attend required
trainings
Create a plan which
addresses the ESEA
Turnaround Principles
“Big Picture”
May- First submission of improvement plan
June- Required training
July- Final submission of improvement plan
2014-2015- Implement the plan
If a principal and DCSI
attended TAIS Part 1 and
Part2 training, do they have
to come to priority training?
Is there a difference between
and IR targeted
improvement plan and the
priority plan?
If I have a targeted
improvement plan because
I’m IR, will that suffice for my
priority plan?
Do non-TTIPS priority schools
have summer training in
June?
How do priority schools pay
for travel and
accommodations for
required training?
Since this is a planning year
for priority, we don’t have
anything to submit this
year…right?
Can my PSP come with me to
the priority training?
I am a TTIPS priority school,
do I have to come to training
in February?
I’ve been the DCSI for 3 years
for my TTIPS campus, do I
have to load my information
into ISAM?
