ACSIP requires knowledge and data to make “thoughtful” decisions.
• How do we know what is required?• How do we know what to adjust?• How do we know what to maintain?• How do we know what to add?• How do we know what to take away?

School improvement has many champions
• Literature and agents of School Improvement abound; so to name a few, but not to endorse any ..........

Coalition of Essential SchoolsTed Sizer, Brown University
• Continuous school improvement is the process cycle of school improvement with the major components of creating the vision, gathering data related to that vision, analyzing the data, planning the work of the school to align with the vision, implementing the strategies and action steps outlined in the plan, and gathering data to measure the impact of the intervention.

AdvancEDAccreditation
• Our goal at AdvancED is to provide guiding principles and effective practices for school improvement that help schools advance the level of education they provide. Perspectives vary on what the life cycle of school improvement looks like; however, we realize that school improvement is both strategic and operational and essential components must be in place for a school to truly address comprehensive school improvement.

The mission of the “National Institute for Urban School Improvement”
• To partner with Regional Resource Centers to develop powerful networks of urban local education agencies and schools that embrace and implement a data-based, continuous improvement approach for inclusive practices. Embedded within this approach is a commitment to evidence-based practice in early intervention, universal design, literacy and positive behavior supports.

Cut to the Chase or Cut to Hecuba.
• Cut to the Chase: This phrase originated in the US film industry. Many early silent films ended in chase sequences preceded by obligatory romantic storylines.
• Cut to Hecuba: an artifice employed by many old producers to shorten matinees by cutting out long speeches (specifically in Act I of Hamlet).
• Definitions above are from Wikipedia with slight modification.

To the point
• Authors, researchers, centers, state departments, etc., may have variations of the improvement cycle, but they are essentially the same cycle.
![Page 22: Overview of School Improvement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681668d550346895dda5718/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
AdvancED
• A school must be able to collect and analyze data, set goals, plan, implement, and evaluate. The realization that none of these components are independent of each other along with the continuous review and evaluation of activities leading to improved results is what leads to authentic school improvement.
