School Strategic Goals for Improvement · Provide an action plan of improvement for each of the two areas of weakness. Be sure to include goals to address areas of need, strategies or actions, timeline of implementation, persons accountable, and resources to be used. I have included a template if you want to use it or you can create your own. · Be sure the strategies are specific enough to ensure positive and meaningful results to support all stakeholders and ensure student success. Reflection · Reflect on your findings and your plan of action for improvement. o Would these strategies be accepted by stakeholders? o Can the leadership team and stakeholders actually carry out your plan? o Is your action plan conducive to the overall effectiveness of the school? · Relate this to your own experiences. · Include justification of your strategies with a Christian worldview perspective using scripture to support why you think this plan will work. · Additional thoughts: · o Use the PSELs to guide your discussion and identify areas for improvements that you could research and implement plans for in the future. For example, how do you see the mission, vision, and goals being implemented in decisions about the resources and practices of the school (PSEL 1)? How is the school striving to provide equitable educational opportunities for the school community? How is the school using culturally responsive practices to promote each students academic success and well-being? (PSEL 2) What are the professional strengths of the faculty? What needs are there for faculty growth? (PSEL 6) Where can there be improvements that will promote students academic success and well-being? (PSEL 10). Make statements that include connections to specific PSELs from your viewpoint. Close with statements that explain your commitment to be involved with improving student learning as a school leader (teacher or administrator). o Please have your mentor to sign your final report to verify the information is correct. The mentors signature will be the artifact.
