School Improvement Planning
2014-15
A Guide to the Florida Continuous
Improvement Management System
School Improvement Plan (SIP)
The purpose of the SIP is to provide guidance
for implementing a process of continuous
improvement.
Shifts in practice are necessary to bring
about change. The SIP provides a framework
for identifying areas of weakness, and allows
the school to focus on the most constructive
shifts and practices to strengthen teaching
and learning.
Introduction to the
Continuous Improvement
Management System
(CIMS)

Early Warning Indicators
The Early Warning System (EWS) is based on
extensive research that identifies key factors,
called indicators, that are highly predictive of
potential student failure, especially in terms of
students dropping out of school.
Because the goal of schooling is to develop
students who are college- and career-ready,
EWS indicators help to identify struggling
students in order to provide appropriate
support and intervention in a timely manner
Target
All Students
Area

Students who miss more than 10% of instructional time

listed all additional
indicators that you are
using.
Middle School Grades must be listed separately, all
others may be listed either by grade or total
In the last box, describe all
intervention strategies employed by
the school to improve the academic
performance of students identified
by the early warning system (i.e.,
those exhibiting two or more early
warning indicators).

Part II – Needs Assessment
Step Zero
Conducting a needs assessment should
be a collaborative experience and will
involve looking at student data and
current practice.

Part III – 8-Step Planning and
Problem Solving
Based on the needs at your school, the
resources available and the time
allotted, develop the following goals:
• Goal 1: Core Instruction
• Goal 2: Early Warning Systems
• Goal 3: STEM/CTE
• Goal 4: Parent Involvement
Goal 1: Core Instruction
The Core instruction Goal is a strategic goal that leads to
continuous improvement. The goal will:
• support targets and cross content areas.
• Be measurable but not numeric.
• be rigorous but attainable within the timeframe
allotted
Guiding Questions
• What can be done to increase the effectiveness of
core instruction?
• How can available resources be utilized and
instructional time maximized to increase student
achievement?
• How are teachers supported in the delivery of
effective instruction?
Goal 2: Early Warning Systems (EWS)
The EWS goal will focus on providing interventions and strategies
in order to address specific elements in the areas of attendance,
behavior, and academic performance that will lead to greater
success for students identified as at-risk.
Guiding Questions
• What specific research-based strategies can be utilized
with identified students to help them become more
successful?
• How can a flexible and effective plan be developed to
meet the needs of at-risk student?
• How can the use of available school resources be
maximized in order to provide effective interventions to atrisk students?
Goal 3: Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) & Career Technical Education (CTE)
The school’s STEM/CTE goal is a strategic goal to prepare students
to be college and career ready through STEM and/or CTE initiatives
and programs. All schools will develop strategies for STEM. Schools
with current or future planned CTE programs will also include
strategies for CTE.
Guiding Questions:
• What resources are provided by the district to engage
students in STEM-related activities?
• How do STEM and CTE strategies strengthen our current
instructional programs?
• How can our CTE program be improved or expanded to
increase student success?
Goal 4: Parental Involvement
The Parent Involvement Goal is focused on building strong,
continuing family and community involvement in all aspects
of school programs and activities in support of measurable
improvement in student achievement.
*Title 1 schools will complete the Parental Involvement Plan (PIP)
Guiding Questions:
• How can we assist parents in supporting student
achievement, and foster a positive attitude towards
school and learning?
• How can the available technology resources be used to
ensure parents take an active part in school activities?
• How can parental support be targeted to create a multidimensional program that meets the need of the
“whole” child?
If you had a 2013-2014 School
Improvement Plan, you will see all of
the goals from last year in the boxes. It
is recommended that you delete all the
goals from last year before you enter
any responses for this year.
Step 1 - Goals
Step 1a will describe an action that you
will take, school-wide, to increase
student achievement.
Step 1b will indicate the targets for the
goal. Most goals will have several
targets. Some targets are for all
students and some are for selected
groups.

Step 2 – Resources and Barriers
Enter your barriers or barrier buckets one at a time. Use the +Add
Barrier button to add each one. Add all the resources available to
reach the goal. Be sure to “Save” before moving on.
Step 3 – Selecting the Barrier
Step 4 – The Strategy
If you do not “select” a strategy, you can’t move to Step 5.
Be sure to “Save” before moving on.
Step 5 – Developing the Action Plan
Monitoring
As you work through the Action Plan, you will
look for evidence that the Action Steps have
been completed. Steps 6-8 of the 8-Step Problem
Solving Process are also monitoring steps. In Step
6, you will monitor the Action Plan for fidelity. In
Step 7, you will monitor the Action Plan for
effectiveness. In Step 8, you will monitor the
Goal for progress.
Note: For each goal, you will have only one Step 8 but you
will have a Step 6 and a Step 7 for each strategy.
Step 6 – Monitoring for Fidelity
Step 7 – Monitoring for Effectiveness
Step 8 – Monitoring the Goal for Progress
Check for Completion
Each page must be
marked “complete” or
“NA “. Be sure to “Save”
