School Development Goal Development “Building a Learning Community”
School Development Plan (3-4 year) • A long term plan provides direction for change • A 3-4 year school development plan is divided into: • Goals • Objectives • Operational Issues
Goals • General statements of desired results to be achieved over time • Measurable and attainable • Few in number • Reflected in the school’s mission statement • Focused on student achievement • Linked to district and provincial strategic plans as well as to teachers’ professional growth plans • Results oriented
Objectives • Specific targets or milestones set to promote achievement of a particular goal by a specific time • Express, in measurable, broadly stated terms, what will be done in a reasonable and specified period of time (Answer both “what” and “when”)
SMART Principle Goals should be: • Specific • Measurable • Attainable • Results oriented • Time bound “Goals are made SMART through their objectives, indicators of success, strategies and actions.”
School Development Plan (1 year) • Completed at the beginning of each school year • Provides the details for each objective by: • listing the strategies required • stating how the strategies and objectives will be measured • listing the supports required to implement the strategies and objectives
Parts of the 1 year Plan • Goals • Objectives • Strategies • Indicators of Success • Support Plan • Operational Issues
Strategies These describe how the school intends to accomplish its objectives. Strategies… • are implemented through the actions of teachers, students, parents and other school partners • are measurable through the indicators of success • are numbered and cross-referenced with objectives
Indicators of Success These are measurable and attainable outcomes of the strategy or objective. Indicators of success.. • may be specific – measure a strategy • may be general – measure a number of strategies or the objective
may be quantitative – assessment results • may be qualitative - actions and practices • demonstrate the effectiveness of an objective and its accompanying strategies • are numbered and cross-referenced with the strategies
Support Plan This component clearly identifies the supports needed to implement the strategies under each objective. Supports… • may be financial in nature • may be professional development requirements • are numbered and cross-referenced with strategies
Operational Issues Issues that come out of the internal review but are not a direct part of the school development plan. Operational Issues… • don’t require long term planning • can be addressed through short meetings or by taking an appropriate action • are important to the success of the plan
“Every shared vision effort needs not just a broad vision, but specific realizable goals – milestones we expect to reach before too long. Goals represent what people commit themselves to do.” (Senge, 1994)
