Overview of School (Using the data previously provided, develop an overview of the entire school that speaks to its strengths, weaknesses, and challenges.) [Click and type the overview.] Comment [GCS23]: This section calls for a simple narrative that, as a result of reviewing your school s data (see School Community Profile and Ends Indicators), addresses its strengths, weaknesses and major challenges. One suggested way of pulling together the major points you want to make here is to conduct a series of brainstorming sessions around the three areas (strengths, weaknesses and major challenges). Make a list in each area, consolidate items and come to consensus that what remains on your list accurately reflects the status at your school. Convert the three consolidated lists into narratives. (Don t forget your special needs students in this process.) Judie Davie said this is useful for the completion of your SACS summary. DAI-F006 Page 11 of 82

[Click and type the overview.] B. Objectives (Identify the measurable and/or observable outcomes in relation to targeted achievement area. Consult state guidelines for expected annual growth.) 1. [Click and type the objectives.] Comment [GCS24]: This section gets you into the actual plan. The term targeted achievement areas refers to the areas you are expected to target in your plan. These areas are the same as the areas identified under Ends Indicators at the back of the planning document. You will find the targeted achievement areas listed throughout this section. You need to have a plan for each of these areas. Please see the exemplars included with these directions for some guidance in completing your sections A, B, & C. Included is a possible example of Drop Out Prevention. This is provided simply for your information as possible examples. Please develop Targeted Achievement Areas for your particular school. Comment [GCS25]: Insert a brief narrative that addresses any special conditions the school needs to consider as it addresses the specific Targeted Achievement Area, i.e., your school may have to make some adjustments because of the transfer of Hispanic students back to their home attendance area; high teacher turnover rate; redistricting, etc. Please be sure to list strategies and alternative assessments for you special needs students. Comment [GCS26]: Identify measurable and/or observable outcomes in relation to the Targeted Achievement Area. Objectives are also needed for any sub-group(s) needing special attention based on the data you have reviewed, i.e., African-American, Asian, etc. Note: Refer to the School Community Profile (pages 4-8) section to identify any groups that need targeting for special attention.

SCHOOL-WIDE Strategies for 9-12 Drop-out Prevention SUB-GROUP Strategies for 9-12 Drop-out Prevention NOTE: School Improvement supervisors will review the evidence of implementation of each strategy as a part of the principal s year-end evaluation. Comment [GCS27]: Click in a cell to type a strategy or evidence. The text will wrap to the next line when the text gets to an edge. Press tab to move to a new cell. Insert or delete rows as needed. (This is done from the table menu or by pressing tab when the cursor is in the last cell in the table.) Pressing tab in the last cell of the table will automatically insert a new row. Comment [GCS28]: Strategies should identify the ways you plan to achieve the measurable outcomes in the targeted achievement area. Your strategies will be identified for both the school-wide objectives and the special sub-group objectives. The strategies should be defined clearly and in a manner that permits a determination whether or not they have been implemented. Comment [GCS29]: Evidence of Implementation please list the ways you will that strategies have been implemented. School Improvement supervisors will closely monitor each school s implementation of strategies. Special Note: Strategies should not be limited to curricular or instructional initiatives. They might, and in many instances should include, strategies that support instructional initiatives. Some areas to consider for strategic initiatives might be as follows: safe, orderly and caring schools; improving the quality of staff; building strong family, community and business ties; and effective and efficient school operations, i.e., an initiative to promote more and better communication between school personnel and Hispanic parents might be appropriate to support another initiative to improve 9 th grade reading performance of Hispanic students.
