1 FOCUS ON RESULTS: continuous improvement plan Updated December 2013 Approved by the Board of Education, December 9, 2013
2 Even Continuous Improvement Plans can be improved! During the school-year, we developed a Continuous Improvement Plan for Oakland Schools for That plan was adopted by the Oakland Schools Board of Education in June 2005 and we set to work to implement it. We updated the plan in 2006 and when the time came to renew the plan for 2008, a thorough revision process was used to look at every aspect of the plan from the mission and purpose to our goals and objectives and how we should measure progress. The plan that emerged outlined our intended work and focus for Subsequently, this plan was updated in 2009, 2010, and In 2012, following a successful site visit, Oakland Schools became one of only a handful of ISDs in the state to receive ESA accreditation from AdvancED. Along with the award notice of accreditation, we also received the AdvancED Report of the Quality Assurance Review Team for Oakland Schools Intermediate School District which outlined specific commendations and required actions that Oakland Schools is expected to address before the next accreditation visit. We decided to use the information from this report to update our Continuous Improvement Plan. I invite you to read this living document, which reflects the priorities of our board of education, employees, and members of our school, business and parent communities. I believe that the Updated Continuous Improvement Plan for Oakland Schools embodies our best thinking and provides a clear, measurable, and accountable blueprint for our regional service agency so that we can continue to provide high quality services, products and resources to Oakland County schools and districts. Comments or questions are welcome. Please contact Dr. Vickie L. Markavitch, Superintendent, at vickie.markavitch@oakland.k12.mi.us or call Sincerely, Dr. Vickie L. Markavitch, Superintendent 2 Oakland Schools Continuous Improvement Plan 2013 Update
3 Our Board of Education Oakland Schools is overseen by the Oakland Schools Board of Education. Our Board is elected to six-year staggered terms every other year by the boards of Oakland County s 28 school districts. Candidates are often local board members but need only be registered electors. The Board meets at 7 PM on the second and fourth Monday of the month at Oakland Schools. These meetings are posted on the Oakland Schools website and at the Oakland Schools Educational Service & Professional Development Center, as are property transfer hearings. Meeting schedules, agendas, minutes, and handouts are posted on the Oakland Schools website under Board of Education, located in the upper left portion of the home page. What is the Oakland Schools Continuous Improvement Plan? Oakland Schools created this Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP) in three phases. Phase I focused on delivering Oakland School services to increase student achievement in the county. Phase II was completed during the school year and expanded the scope of the CIP to address all Oakland Schools programs and services, including internal operations, and expanded the involvement of ISD constituents in the planning process. In 2008, Phase III involved internal and external stakeholders in the review and revision of the existing plan including Oakland Schools mission, purpose, beliefs, and goals. Phase III began by gathering information about stakeholder perceptions about the strengths, challenges, and opportunities of Oakland Schools through focus groups and an online survey. Oakland Schools Board Members Ms. Barbara DeMarco President Dr. Theresa Rich, Vice President Mr. Connie Williams, Treasurer Mr. Marc Katz, Secretary Mr. George Ehlert, Trustee Pictured from left to right: Barbara DeMarco, Connie Williams, Marc Katz, Dr. Theresa Rich, and George Ehlert We defined organizational goals, objectives and metrics to measure and report our progress on achieving these goals. The CIP now provides us with a flexible framework for our work as well as a measurement and accountability tool that helps us align our budgeting process, departmental objectives, and district requests for services with our organizational plan. After our 2012 AdvancED Accreditation we recognized in order to better serve our stakeholders in an ever-changing environment, we needed to review our plan each year. In 2013 the Oakland Schools Leadership Team performed the first annual review. In addition to this written document, we post the CIP on our website and update it regularly with progress reports to the public. Oakland Schools Continuous Improvement Plan 2013 Update 3

7 Organizational Goals, Objectives and Measures Strategic Direction 1: Maximize learning As partners, Oakland Schools and the school districts of Oakland County work together to maximize student achievement, instill lifelong learning, develop responsible citizens, and equip students to participate in the global workforce. To do so, Oakland Schools and its partners research best practices, build capacity through professional development, support leadership development, and provide services and resources to meet the needs of school districts and individual students. We hold ourselves accountable to high standards for student learning and, where needed, provide interventions to move that learning forward.

8 2 Strategic Direction 2: Increase collaborative opportunities Oakland Schools works with all levels of government, business, community groups, and education agencies to form partnerships and collaborations that increase opportunities for Oakland County students. Oakland Schools, its constituent school districts, and its partner organizations are committed to finding ways to maximize existing school funding and operate at peak efficiency. Oakland Schools uses its own resources and infrastructure to regionally deliver instructional, technical, business, and student services and programs that allow the ISD to pass along significant savings to local districts that can then be used where most needed to improve district operations and student achievement. Objective 2.1.1: Oakland Schools will increase online professional development offerings, web conferencing utilization, and online access to operational and instructional services and materials resulting in increased efficiencies in resource time and costs. Objective 2.2.1: Oakland Schools will facilitate the increased collaboration by providing expertise and resources to assist districts with decisions that will result in service and instructional delivery efficiencies. Objective 2.2.2: Oakland Schools will create partnerships with government, business, community organizations, higher education and others to share resources, meet student needs and create efficiencies. Goal 2.1 Expand the technological, educational, and resource infrastructure available for anywhere, anytime teaching, learning, collaboration, and communication. The technical infrastructure availability will be maintained at 99.9% and available to all districts, teachers, students, and staff. District participation in the use of OS hosted resources will increase. County-wide participation in hosted services will increase cost savings for LEAs. Goal 2.2 Increase opportunities to standardize, centralize or regionalize district operations and instructional services that result in resource efficiencies and overall cost savings. How many districts, offices, or staff engaged in standardization, centralization, and/or regionalization? Dollars saved through standardization, centralization, and/or regionalization. There will be an increase in the number of education/business/agency/ community partnership projects (including grants) that produce improved outcomes for participants. 8 Oakland Schools Continuous Improvement Plan 2013 Update

10 4 Strategic Direction 4: Close gaps and reduce inequities Each district can access Intermediate School District resources that meet its unique needs as it strives to provide every student with an equitable opportunity for quality instruction, closing gaps in student learning. Factors such as location, per-pupil funding, demographics, human, fiscal and academic resources and infrastructure should not be deterrents to effective district operations and student success. Objective 4.1.1: Provide support for closing the achievement gap in all constituent districts. Goal 4.1 Close the gaps between groups of students in achieving state learning standards. There will be a decrease in the difference between the percent of African American, Hispanic, students eligible for free or reduced price lunch, English Language Learners and special education students who meet state learning standards as measured by statewide assessments and the percent of all students who meet state standards.
