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.

Analyse evidence of student learning and answer the question ‘What are our goals for improvement?’ Specify up to 3
goals and annual targets for student learning improvement in the table below.

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 Teachers will develop a deep understanding of the developmental progression of the Brightpath scale. Teachers will use a
teaching and learning cycle, incorporating dialogic talk and reading activities to build content prior to writing in primary. Secondary
teachers will incorporate both meta-cognitive and linguistic strategies for goal orientated writing behaviours.
Assessment:Teachers use pre and post assessment writing samples measured against the Brightpath learning progression scale.
Goal 2 Teachers will develop a deep understanding of NUMBER.
Teachers use the advice provided in the Big ideas in number to sequence student learning, strengthen trust the count and place
value, and focus on multiplicative thinking and partitioning.
Assessment: Pre and post formative assessment using a diagnostic tool.
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.
