Like the article stated, it's not enough to just have a list of goals and objectives. It's important to map out the plan and let each member know how they play a role in executing that plan. As an administrator, I will plan on posting the goals that we have somewhere that teachers will be able to see them.  Also I will refer to these goals in staff emails and staff meetings. This is also a good topic to discuss at vertical alignment meetings and PLC meetings when you have a group of teachers to discuss their input in the goals at the school and what they are doing to reach those goals!

I think conducting a Needs Assessment is a crucial part of the SIP as well. Sometimes, on the surface, we may think what our schools greatest needs are, but with assessing all facets of the school through the use of data, that data may lean towards another goal that you may need to set for your school instead of what you thought was obvious. ]]> 2017-03-27 18:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bedulin/o9vkedgg4bbu/wish/162930241 mruff5 https://padlet.com/bedulin/o9vkedgg4bbu/wish/163850885 I agree with what Andrew said about Step 4. Often times when I see a SIP the next steps to be taken are very vague. In the best interest of all involved, providing the faculty with a specific sections that they will take to improve growth at the school is vital. 
Also, in looking at the needs of the school it is important that everyone has a clear understanding of what the specific needs are of the school. Again, being vague leads to staff misinterpreting what is expected to try and close gaps and increase growth. ]]> 2017-03-30 23:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bedulin/o9vkedgg4bbu/wish/163850885 jessielinkous https://padlet.com/bedulin/o9vkedgg4bbu/wish/164073885 Concerning SIP step 2, a thorough needs assessment is a vital part of the school improvement plan process. It is crucial that all stakeholders have a role in the data collection of determining needs. As an administrator, I could survey stakeholders such as parents, teachers, and community members in order to gauge the school's perceived needs. Additionally, test score/benchmark data as well as administrative and facilitator walk through data could be considered when determining needs.
