IP vs CAP: What’s the Difference? School Improvement Planning

1. IP vs CAP: What’s the Difference? School Improvement Planning Dr. Gene Sheets, PSP Jennifer De Leon, ESC 17

3. Objectives: • To distinguish between a corrective action and an improvement strategy • To develop concise corrective actions and improvement strategies. • To develop a planning process that works for your district and campus IP vs. CAP

5. IP – improvement plan • Addresses the results and findings from all required interventions • Provides the LEA with a working document to implement activities designed to improve student academic performance IP vs. CAP

7. Sample of IP statement • Create a district-wide committee to analyze the progress of the development and implementation of the curriculum focusing on Common Core Assessments, and classroom assessments. This team will also be utilized to analyze the walkthrough tools to include sheltered instruction, ELPS, and differentiated instruction. Administration will use this template for training and learning walks to consistently apply the walk through template. IP vs. CAP

8. CAP – Corrective Action Plan • Addresses and corrects noncompliance issues identified during any intervention activities • Results in elevated interventions and/or sanctions if not corrected as soon as possible IP vs. CAP

10. Sample of CAP • Review the district's operating guidelines for Special Education Placements to ensure that placement decisions are based on the child's IEP. Communicate to administrators that student services do not change unless an ARD meeting is held determining a need for the change. The policy and procedure will be communicated with campus administrators and teachers to ensure understanding and compliance. (2) Campus Diagnostician will review class schedules and IEPs of Life Skills students to determine which students did not receive inclusion services during the 2011-2012 school year and will convene ARDs to decide if FAPE has been denied due to IEPs not being followed as written; compensatory services will be considered, if appropriate. IP vs. CAP

11. ISSUES: District vs. Campus • No overlap • No teamwork • No alignment • No collaboration IP vs. CAP
