Training Purpose:

Provide training for:1) Facilitating technical use of the MI-

PLAN web-based tool.2) Using MI-Plan processes and

techniques for developing systemic school improvement plans.

3) Creating an individual MI-PLAN framework for conducting subsequent professional development training.

5

What is MI-Plan?

• Time saving, easy to use web-based management system for creating, implementing, and monitoring school improvements plans.

• Creates a single planning environment that meets multiple reporting requirements.

6

Why Use MI-PLAN?• Combines expectations of Revised

School Code (Public Act 25), NCA school improvement protocols, Title 1 requirements in “No Child Left Behind”, and Education YES into a web-based planning process.

• Helps insure coordination of effort and resources.

• Automatically downloads school data (MEAP, MI-Access, Alternative LEP).

• Provides common planning process.

7

MI-Plan Benefits

• Creates a collaborative, continuous improvement culture to ensure that all students are achieving at high levels.

• Encourages innovation through research-based practices.

• Focuses and aligns staff development and resources.

• Increases public participation in planning.

• Provides data to support and document continuous growth.

8

Training Participant Assumption(Level 4 or 5)

School Improvement Planning “Intelligence Quotient” Levels

On a scale of 1 – 5:1) Unsure how to spell school

improvement2) Know there are processes for

school improvement.3) Can describe various steps of school

improvement.4) Can lead school improvement.5) Can train others in the school

improvement process.

9

Recommended Skill Setsfor MI-Plan Trainers

• Strong background/experience in facilitating planning processes (Possess substantial toolbox of group process/consensus building techniques.)

Why do we plan?

16

A metaphor

17

IN MOUNTAIN CLIMBING-

The creation of a vision, the importance of a plan, the precision of technique, careful organization, thoughtful team building, painstaking route finding, professionalism, and tenacity are critical to achieving the goal.

IN OUR SCHOOLS-

Does the education of our children demand any less?

18

•To be more intentional and focus on what’s important

•To “professionalize” the culture by learning together and deprivitizing our practice

•To build learning environments of inquiry, trust, and mutual respect

Why do we plan?

School Readiness - the extent to which a school’s staff has the ability and willingness to accomplish a specific task.

Two major components of readiness are ability and willingness.

Assess School Readiness

25

Ability is the knowledge, experience, and skill that an individual or group brings to a particular task or activity.

Sometimes, people aren’t really unwilling, it’s just that they’ve never done a specific task before. They don’t have any experience with it, so they’re insecure or afraid.

Not a one-time event – assess for every step and every activity of school improvement planning

Assessments are completed by the school improvement team

Step 1:Assess Readiness to Benefit

(Foundation for Planning)

Step 1:Assess Readiness to Benefit

(Foundation for Planning)

1. Establish a school improvement team.*2. Assess school’s readiness to plan.*3. Determine SIP team/steering committee level

of knowledge in school improvement process and research-based practices.

4. Develop a School Introduction.*5. Create a school improvement planning

calendar * 6. Define/clarify the school’s decision making

process.*7. Verify/validate the school’s mission

statement. * 8. Create a school vision statement.

P3T Paper, Passing , Purpose Tool (“Tool Time”)

1)Divide stakeholders into small groups-Each stakeholder get index card & has 5-10 minutes to write a vision/mission statement-no names

2) Pass papers to left-upon receiving colleague underlines the significant words or passages-passes on-continue until each statement has been reviewed by all members

3) Recorder for group writes all the underlined statements on flipchart-repeat process to form one common list of statements-- 2-3 small groups combine thee underlined words into a vision/mission statement

4) Each group shares their statements-combine into one statement or have small group do so --all stakeholders review statement and come to agreement-Use a Consensogram to confirm agreement

A word about Mission and Vision Statements…

33

Assess readinessto benefit

Assess readinessto benefit

Consenogram (Tool Time)

1)Give each person same size sticky note

2) Determine what is going to be measures (e.g. “How committed are you to…?)

3) Write numbers in increments of 10% (10%-100%) virtically on the left side of a flipchart sized paper-these percentages are used to represent what you think, feel, or where you stand

4) Each person writes a representative percentage on their sticky note and puts them in the center of table

5) Post notes on flipchart to form a frequency distribution chart-discuss results- Have you reached consensus?

Note: Another quick check is “Fist to Five”

What are your process for coming to consensus?

Tables with data for groups to reviewEach table reviews the data individually, think about strengths and challenges.Group discusses data and develops non-evaluative narrative statements. Strengths and challenges are recorded.

Narrative tally sheets are collected and compiled.

Synthesize and prioritize challenges.

Steps 1-3 ObjectivesHow did we do?

We can instruct others:1) To understand the purpose, background,

and development of the MI-Plan process.2) To understand the relationship/role of

MI-Plan in fulfilling multiple planning and reporting requirements.

3) To understand the role/function of MI-Plan in a continuous school improvement process.

4) Skill in the basic use and function of Steps 1-3 of the MI-Plan application tool.

Set and prioritizegoals

Draft goal statements around the identified challenges.

Goal statements begin with a general, overarching vision of what needs to happen.

Choose three to five goal statements to refine.(Reading and/or Math goals required by NCLB if school has been identified for improvement based on AYP).

Critical Elements of Goals

Compelling evidence (Rationale/Justification from 3 sources)

“Essence” of the goal – points of emphasis which determine assessments. (The “guts” of the goal)

Goal statement describing what isto be developed with students.

59

Is it a Strategy or is it a Goal?

Goals are what your “preferred future” is related to how students should perform. It’s what you want students to accomplish.

Strategies/Interventions are action steps that identify what you will do to achieve the goal.
