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.
How to complete this template
• 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.

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 Increase student achievement in mathematics, particularly in the number strand, in years R-3
Challenge of practice: If we develop a common evidence based approach to teaching number sense sequentially using the Big
Ideas in Number beginning with trusting the count and place value, then we will increase the number of Year 3 students meeting
the SEA for mathematics.
Goal 2 Increase student achievement in writing, years 3 to 5
Challenge of practice: If we develop a common approach to teaching genre writing as outlined in the site genre map and
Brightpath adjustments to instruction, then we will increase the number of Year 3 to 5 students meeting the SEA for Writing.
Goal 3 Increase student achievement in reading, years R to 3
Challenge of practice: If we develop a common approach to teaching oral language, vocabulary, phonological awareness, phonics
and sight words, then we will increase the number of R to 3 students meeting the SEA for reading.
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.
Increase student achievement in mathematics, particularly in the number strand, in years R-3
Goal 1
Challenge of practice Increase student achievement in mathematics, particularly in the number strand, in years R-3
Challenge of practice: If we develop a common evidence based approach to teaching number sense
