During the week of April 9th, the External Visitations were conducted in Round 2 and Round 3 Secondary Schools. One of the purposes of the visitations is to provide input to individual schools about progress made toward attainment of the identified school improvement goals. Also, schools are provided with the opportunity to celebrate their successes, resulting from collaborative efforts to improve student achievement. Following the school visits, the external team members compile an individual school status report. Elementary schools were not involved in the April visitation because of the implementation of student assignment plan.
School improvement is an ongoing process.
It is the time to reflect on the progress made toward goal attainment and also to begin the next phase of the process. During the summer, workshops for school leadership teams are scheduled. Principals will select team members to participate in the two-day sessions, and determine which workshop dates are most convenient for participating staff to attend. The workshops are scheduled for the week of July 24th and the week of July 31st.
