Improvement plan for PARALOWIE R-12 SCHOOL 2019 to 2021 • 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.
