School Improvement Planning (SIP) School Development Plan (SDP)
School improvement planning signifies that
all Schools have a common code to follow.
School Development Plan is more school
based.
It is a road map providing direction for the
school to move forward in enhancing the
overall development as well as learning in the
schools. It is holistic in nature covering each
and every aspect of schools and its progress.
The plan sets out changes schools needs to
make to bring out desired results and
eventually achieve goals and targets within a
particular time frame.
It has certain goals, objectives and
mechanisms to attain the objectives decided
by the school in a given point of time. It is
more an in-house activity carried out by in-
school teaching and non teaching staff along
with community and parents and other
stakeholders, with School Head as leader to
set targets and chalk out details on how and
when these
can be achieved. The basic idea is to provide
direction to school for development.
REMEMBER
The ultimate goals of both, School Improvement Plan( SIP) and School Development Plan( SDP) are to transform schools into a continuous cycle of improvement and development.
REMEMBER
School development plan is not a charter of demands. It is an activity wherein teachers, parents, staff and other stake holders work together in teams to reflect and reinvent what works best for the school to improve in a phased manner
Note
Each school draws its own roadmap for improvement based on its specific Requirements Priorities Goals Targets Monitoring & Evaluation mechanisms Time frame for each activity Follows context- specific drive for improvement
Who should be involved in planning for School Improvement?

Development Plan: School Head

Schools differ widely and so do parameters of quality, strengths, weaknesses, requirements, and priorities for each school. Accordingly standards, goals, targets are not the same for all schools. The questions to ponder here are:
• Can all schools have same priorities?
• Same goals?
• Same performance targets?
• Even for the same school, priorities for improvement vary with time
• Then how can same standard be prescribed for all contexts?
• Can parameters of quality identified for one school be applicable in other schools?
Towards Preparation of a School Development Plan
Preparation of a school-based development plan can be divided into three stages: the planning stage, the implementation stage and monitoring and evaluation stage. There are a set of systematically arranged steps followed in the course of preparation of the school-based development plan.
Planning stage
Step1. Understanding and Analysing School Situation
Prepare Format for developing a School Profile
Preparation of Format for developing a School Profile
Step2. Identification of Requirements and Action Areas This could be separately drawn for different levels of School stages. 1. Planning Academic activities (learning skills) 2. Planning Administrative activities (Improvement in the administration) 3. Planning Co-curricular activities (Sports/Games/Cultural)
Create a climate of communication, cooperation and collaboration.
Step3. Formation of teams
Formation of teams
• Team to plan for the school development at different intervals;
• Team to implement the plan;
• Team that provides leadership and support;
• Team to monitor and evaluate implementation of the plan and provide feedback and constructive suggestions for the school from time to time.
IMPLEMENTATION STAGE
Step4. Setting Priorities
• Select two major priorities. Describe what activities can be taken up for each month and on
• whom the responsibility should rest for both priorities separately
Priority One (Identify) ___
Step5. Setting Goals
As far as possible, choose the goal for the school that is realistic and feasible. This is the real reflection of what exactly you want. One needs to strive towards achieving desired results by setting a deadline. Decide where you wish to reach. Select two major goals. Follow the format for both goals separately as follows:
• Goal One_______________
MONITORING AND EVALUATION STAGE Step6. Current Year Priorities/ Goals/ Key Issues:
Keeping in view the identified priorities and goals, one or two key issues need to be specified which can taken up for monitoring and later as a parameter for evaluation. This exercise follows
a definite trail. Priority 1: __________________________________________________________ Goal: ______________________________________________________________ Priority 2: __________________________________________________________ Goal: ______________________________________________________________ Key Issue 1_________________________________________________________ Key Issue 2_________________________________________________________
