How to complete this template
• Complete every step. The Quality School Improvement Planning Handbook explains how to do this. In addition, your education director will provide support.
• Complete steps 1 to 3 during term 4 of 2018 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 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 and Outcomes 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.

Page 4 of 12Step 2 Determine challenge of practice
Consider how improvements in teaching practice will help to achieve your improvement goals and answer the
question ‘What areas of practice should we focus on improving to reach our goals?’ Specify your challenge of
practice for each goal in the table below.
The Quality School Improvement Planning Handbook explains how to do this.
Challenge of practice
Goal 1 If we develop a common structured evidence based approach to the teaching of place value and number through a balance of
explicit teaching with hands on problem solving activities then we will increase the number of students both reaching SEA and
reaching and maintaining SEA and the higher bands in numeracy.
Goal 2 If we develop a common structured evidence based approach to the teaching of comprehension strategies then we will increase
students ability to interpret inferred and explicitly stated information from a range of texts.
Goal 3
Page 5 of 12Step 3 Plan actions for improvement
Consider evidence of best practice to answer the question ‘What actions should we take to improve our practice and reach our goals?’ Specify your
actions for improvement, timeline, responsibility, resources and success criteria for each goal in the tables below.
The Quality School Improvement Planning Handbook explains how to do this.
Increase student understanding in number sense R-7
Goal 1
Challenge of practice If we develop a common structured evidence based approach to the teaching of place value and number
through a balance of explicit teaching with hands on problem solving activities then we will increase the
number of students both reaching SEA and reaching and maintaining SEA and the higher bands in
numeracy.
