School Improvement Team - Evaluation of SIP Effectiveness September 2015 As teachers and stakeholders worked to develop the BRES SIP, careful consideration was taken to ensure the actions and processes required during the course of the school year would increase goal targets and instructional awareness. Goal changes from the previous plan were made to encourage collaboration among the BRES School Improvement Team and stakeholder members. Staff development, summative and formative data, progress monitoring, common assessments, and effective scheduling are aligned with the SIP goals in an effort to support continuous student achievement. Continuous evaluations of data and strategies will identify major patterns and instructional factors which increase or decrease goal achievement. Changes in staff development, teaching practices, and/or objective interventions will be made in response to these evaluations.
