This course is part of a three-part course series and serves as a tool to support school leaders in understanding the why and how around the school improvement process.  By the end of the Course 3, participants will be able to effectively engage their School Improvement Team in the facilitation of the school improvement process to develop a school improvement plan that meets the requirements of the Education Accountability Act (EAA).  Participants will also be able to effectively implement and monitor plans designed to improve the efficacy of teaching and learning in their individual schools.  We recommend this course to anyone who is leading the school improvement process.  Tools will be provided to participants to utilize with the School Improvement Team (SIT) members.  Topics will be presented sequentially in the order that a School Improvement Plan (SIP) would be built in the course of an academic year.
