Educational leaders are responsible for ensuring that needs identified through a formal needs assessment are clearly addressed by improvement actions in the school’s Continuous Action Plan (CIP)/School Improvement Plan (SIP). Often, those needs are addressed by creating action plans that involve several different areas.
In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to assess how a school’s CIP/SIP can address needs identified through the formal needs assessment in the areas of curriculum and professional development.
Coordinate with your principal mentor to analyze your school’s most recent needs assessment and its alignment to the current CIP/SIP. In 250-500 words, summarize your analysis between the school needs assessment data and the continuous improvement plans. Describe ways in which the CIP/SIP addresses the identified needs by using action plans and measuring progress in the areas of curriculum and professional development.
