School improvement plan data analysis

Develop a school improvement plan based on data analysis. Data Sources: 1. Academic: standardized test scores, graduation rates, course failure rates. 2. Culture/Climate: student and staff survey results (e.g., Panorama), attendance data, discipline referrals. Process: 1. Data Dig: Leadership team analyzes data to identify 2-3 priority areas (e.g., '9th-grade math proficiency is low', 'student sense of belonging is declining'). 2. Root Cause Analysis: Use a 'Fishbone Diagram' to brainstorm potential causes for each problem. 3. Goal Setting: Create SMART goals for each priority area (e.g., 'Increase 9th-grade math proficiency by 10% by May'). 4. Action Plan: Define specific strategies, person responsible, timeline, and required resources. 5. Monitor Progress: Review progress toward goals at monthly leadership meetings.
