The North Carolina General Assembly requires schools across the state to write improvement goals and identify strategies for reaching these goals. These goals and strategies are compiled in the School Improvement Plan (SIP).
School improvement planning provides a mechanism for identifying needs and establishing a common approach to meeting those needs at the school level. Effective school improvement planning contributes to overall school performance by:
Establishing an understanding of the “big picture” of a school’s current state, including student achievement, school environment, teacher community, parent community, and administrative issues;
Reaching consensus across the school community on which needs represent the highest priorities for action based upon the potential to improve overall student and school performance; and
Identifying for implementation goals and strategies, including specific targets, indicators and milestones required to address the school priorities.
The New Dimensions Charter School’s School Improvement Planning Committee consists of: Director, Administration, Parent & Board Representatives, Teachers and Teacher Assistants.
The School Improvement Plan is reviewed approximately every 3 years.
