• Complete every step. The Quality School Improvement Planning Handbook explains how to do this. In addition, your education director will
provide support.
• Text will reduce in size the more you type. Exceeding the optimal limits will result in illegible text size electronically and in-print.
• Complete steps 1 to 3 during term 4 and have it approved by the principal, governing council chairperson, and education director.
• Email this plan (steps 1 to 3) to your education director.
• Publish your school improvement plan (steps 1-3) on your school website.
• Work through step 4 (Improve practice and monitor impact) regularly throughout the school year. This step does not need to be published
on your website.
• Complete step 5 (Review and evaluate) in term 4 of each year. This step does not need to be published on your website, though it should
inform the Improvement Planning - Review and evaluate section of your annual report to the school community.
• Your school improvement plan will be current for 2019 to 2021 and should be updated in term 4 each year.
• Note that each text box has a specific optimal character limit. Character limit includes words, punctuation, bullet points and spaces.
• Be careful when copying from other documents, and remove any paragraph spaces from lists and bullet points as that will reduce text size.
• Steps 1-3 will auto-populate as you type in text, meaning text will carry over across multiple pages and sections.
