School Improvement Planning

1. School Improvement Planning The Journey Continues… Spring, 2018

2. Brothers and sisters: No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.

3. As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit. 1 COR 12:3B-7, 12-13

4. A Time to Plan Leader: Lord Jesus, open our hearts and minds to the guidance of Your Spirit. We give You thanks today for the many blessings which enrich our lives. As we gather, help us to discern the paths we will take on our professional journey. Teach us to listen to those around us and be especially mindful of the students we serve. All: Hear us, O Lord, for we gather today in Your name. Leader: Spirit of God, help uspray for the direction that only the Spirit can give. All: Come Spirit of God and be with us. Leader: Spirit of God, direct our minds in our planning. All: Be in our understanding that we might know our needs. Leader: Spirit of God, be in our eyes that we might see clearly what direction You desire us to take. All: Give us the vision to see clearly what is Your will for us. Leader: Spirit of God, be in our ears that we might hear what you are saying to us. All: Give us the wisdom to listen and reflect as we discern the next steps in our journey. All: May the Lord guide and strengthen us. May He enlighten our minds and inspire our hearts. May He grace us with His presence. May He bless our efforts. May He give us joy and satisfaction in our work together. This we ask in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

6. The NSBECS provides the …”Catholic community a common framework of universal characteristics of Catholic identity and agreed upon criteria for Catholic school excellence. With this framework, we can and must hold ourselves accountable for the excellence and rigor, faith and nurturance that have been the hallmark of Catholic education, and which we must now guarantee for future generations.” -Lorraine A. Ozar, PH.D. Director, Center for Catholic School Effectiveness School of Education, Loyola University Chicago

28. Why Professional Learning? Learning emphasizes expected changes in educator knowledge, attitudes, skills , aspirations, and behaviors. Development emphasizes the activities to accomplish those changes.

29. Professional Learning Program • Set of planned and implemented actions, • guided by research, evidence, and standards, • accompanied by adequate resources, • and directed toward the achievement of defined outcomes related to educator practice and its impact on student learning. JoellenKillion, Assessing Impact: Evaluating Professional Learning, 2018.

30. Professional Learning Program Continuum • Learning Teams/PLC – a learning team/professional learning community is any collaboration involving faculty, school leadership, and/or archdiocesan personnel. • Professional learning models – ways in which professional learning is delivered, accessed, and evaluated for impact on student learning.

31. Self-assessment As an individual team member, review the Professional Learning Program Continuum. Highlight the key words in the progression from one level to another. As a team, discuss the Professional Learning Program Continuum, specifically where you are on the knowledge, attitudes, skills, aspirations, and behaviors spectrum.
