Effect

School Improvement is an ongoing annual process of assessing strengths, determining areas for improvement, setting goals, developing activities to reach those goals, and assessing progress. Professional Development Alliance can provide technical assistance and consultant services to assist schools with their school improvement efforts in the areas of: Data analysis, standards, school improvement planning models, professional development models, assessment development, curriculum alignment, mentoring, and technology integration.

School Improvement Planning

Schools are required to engage in annual school improvement planning. Schools are required to notify the Regional Superintendent in writing prior to September 30 of each year that an internal review has occurred for the proceeding year. Schools should become familiar with the components of a school improvement plan referenced in the School Code, 2-3, 63. Professional Development Alliance offers workshops and technical assistance throughout the year for school improvement teams who choose to adjust their SIP to include these components. Staff is available to work with SIP teams, curriculum alignment committees, grade level teams or administrators and will custom design technical assistance to meet your needs.

Technical Assistance will be provided in the following areas:

Review of existing school improvement plans
On-site internal review assistance
Focused review training workshops
School Improvement planning cycle assistance
Standards alignment
School Safety Audit
Review Technology Plans
