35. School Improvement Overview @EducateIN

36. Comprehensive Support & Improvement (CSI) Title I served ‘Fs’, or the lowest performing 5% of all Title I schools) Any high school (Title I or non-Title I) with a graduation rate less than 67% (for 2017-2018 only, the graduation rate will not include the general diploma) Beginning school year 2022-2023, Title I schools with a subgroup chronically underperforming at the same level as the lowest 5% schools and did not improve within 5 years of implementing a TSI plan LEA develops a Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) and School Improvement Plan (SIP). School administers culture, climate survey State, LEA, and school approve and monitor plan. Exit Criteria: Attain a grade of ‘C’ on the accountability for 2 or more years; demonstrate a strong plan for sustaining progress @EducateIN

37. Targeted Support & Improvement (TSI) Schools (both Title I and non-Title I) and have one or more subgroups at or below the lowest performing 5% threshold used to identify CSI. School develops TSI plan. LEA approves and monitors plan Exit Criteria: Attain a grade of ‘C’ within 5 years on the accountability system for the subgroup identified as TSI; demonstrate a strong plan for sustaining progress @EducateIN

39. Targeted Support & Improvement (TSI) Example of Targeted Support Identification: High School XYZ (Grades 9-12) Hispanic = 58.8 points Asian = 70.1 points Special Education = 53.6 points •Subgroup accountability determinations are compared against the bottom 5% threshold for comprehensive support identification •Bottom 5% threshold = 58.8 points / 100.0 points •Final Identification for Targeted Support: School XYZ is identified for targeted support for the Hispanic and Special Education subgroups @EducateIN

40. Resources CSI TSI Not eligible for 1003 SIG Funds IDOE to provide technical assistance (TA) resources and hours through the Department and partners with expertise in the affected subgroups Planning Implementation @EducateIN
