  1. Unified Improvement Planning Colorado Department of Education Directors Meeting October 11, 2012

  2. Learning Objectives • Learn the fundamentals of the Unified Improvement Planning (UIP) process. • Understand how to access resources about Unified Improvement Planning. • Begin thinking about the needs of student with disabilities in the UIP process.

  3. Unified Improvement Planning • Through the Colorado Educational Accountability Act of 2009 (SB09-163)… • All schools and districts must annually develop and submit an improvement plan. The plan streamlines federal and state accountability systems and reporting requirements. • Plans must include: • Data Analysis: trends, performance challenges, root causes • Action Planning: targets, interim measures, major improvement strategies, action steps, implementation benchmarks • Aligned with ESEA (Titles I, IIA, III), State Graduation Completion Plans and various grant requirements.

  4. What is Unified Improvement Planning? • A common format for schools and for districts to document improvement planning efforts. • A system to align improvement planning requirements for state and federal accountability into a “single” plan. • A statewide strategy to promote improvement planning based on best-practice, including key features: • Driven by state and local data • Continuous improvement cycle • A mechanism for triggering additional supports through CDE (especially for schools/districts with a Priority Improvement or Turnaround plan type). • A consistent way for any stakeholder to examine plans.

  8. District & School Performance Frameworks Through the Colorado Educational Accountability Act of 2009 (SB09-163)… • CDE annually evaluates districts and schools based on student performance outcomes. • All districts receive a District Performance Framework (DPF). This determines their accreditation rating. • All schools receive a School Performance Framework (SPF). This determines their school plan types. • Provide a common framework through which to understand performance and focus improvement efforts.
