Framework for Planning and Implementation
School Monitoring ReportSchool Self-Study
Strategic PlanThese three documents all serve a unique purpose:
• Self-Study: who we are/how we’ve done. Includes facts and data. – The targets for improvement and improvement priorities should correlate to actions in the strategic plan.
• School Monitoring Report (SMR): where we are as a school today—what we see in the mirror, good/bad, etc. What would an outsider observe?
– Your evidence, when pointing to weaknesses/needs should align with improvement priorities from the self-study and drive the actions in the strategic plan.
– The professional development needs addressed here should also align with the professional development portion of the Strategic Plan.
• Strategic Plan: what are we going to do based on how we’ve done (Self-Study) and where we are (SMR).
– Includes goals/action steps and should be formulated based on the self-study, the SMR and all data sources.

Maps and Benchmarking
A standards based map provides a general sequence of standards for each course.
The expectation of each teacher for each subject is as follows:1. Use the maps provided on the county website; or2. *Use the maps on the website with teacher edits/reorganization; or3. *Create your own standards based map (needs approved for use).
ALL teachers will use a standards based map for core subjects
*The county will create Study Island benchmark exams based on the county provided maps. If one choses option 2 or 3, they will have to create the benchmark exams to match their map(s).
Benchmark assessments serve two main purposes:• To measure student mastery of standards;• To provide an opportunity for students to learn/practice standardized testing skills.
