What is a School Improvement plan?

A School Improvement Plan (SIP) is a strategic document designed to enhance the overall performance and effectiveness of a school. It outlines specific goals, objectives, and action steps to address identified areas of need, often based on data analysis and stakeholder input. The plan typically includes measures for evaluating progress and ensuring accountability, aiming to improve student outcomes, teaching quality, and school culture. SIPs are usually developed collaboratively by school leaders, educators, and the community.
