A school improvement team is a group of individuals within a school community who look at data together to determine

• areas of instruction and school organization that need to be changed to improve student achievement
• goals that will meet school needs
• interventions that are needed to reach the goals
• how to document improvement through student achievement
• how to adjust the plan to improve results over time

The 2008-2009 sip.doc assesses the school's strengths and weaknesses, implements strategies and activities to address the school's needs, and continually evaluates the school's progress toward achieving its objectives and meeting its goals. The plan focuses on improving student achievement at the school by addressing state goals and performance standards.
