Ohio Improvement Process (OIP)
Facilitating District-wide Improvement in Instructional
Practices and Student Performance
Seven Core Principles of OIP1. A focused plan aligns vision, mission, and philosophy.
2. The process is continuous and recursive, and the plan is a dynamic document.
3. The process relies on quality data interpretation. 4. All leadership teams use a collaborative, collegial process.5. An efficient communication approach ensures all stakeholders
are consistently informed of progress at each stage. 6. The process produces one focused, integrated plan that directs
all work and resources.7. The process expects substantive changes in student
performance and adult practices as a result of implementing, monitoring and evaluating the process and plan.

Action Steps
Indicators
Outcomes of Stage 2Develop a Focused Plan
Develop 2-3 SMART Goals Composes Strategies for each
