ABSTRACT

The vision clarifies what teacher are going to teach, how they are going to teach, how they are going to assess, and how everyone is going to treat each other. To get the shared vision implemented, a strong plan based on collaborative structures and data use is necessary to improve learning for all students. The Continuous School Improvement plan to implement a vision is very different from a plan to close a gap or to meet a target. Every school should have a structure in place that will help every staff member implement the vision, as well as collaborate with colleagues to help each other review data and implement the vision. These structures are often called "leadership structures" because they also support shared decision making. Leadership structures, professional learning, and partnerships work together to help everyone on staff implement the vision. All of these components are a part of the Continuous School Improvement plan.,.
