This course is the final in a three-course series developed to support school leaders in designing, facilitating, and engaging school improvement teams (SIT) in the school improvement planning process. The course was developed at RIDE by Michael Mancieri, Andrew Milligan, and Amanda Turcotte, through the Office of School and District Improvement (OSDI), in partnership with BRIDGE-RI. The course serves as a tool to support school leaders and SIT members in understanding the why and how of the school improvement process. Participants are automatically enrolled in this course upon successfully completing RIDE: School Improvement Process Courses 1 & 2.

By the end of Course 3, participants will be able to:

• Identify and select high-quality, evidence-based initiatives to support the implementation of School Improvement SMART+E goals.

• Equitably allocate resources required to support School Improvement Initiatives

• Write logical action steps to ensure the implementation of School Improvement Initiatives

• Develop a plan for monitoring progress towards the achievement of SMART+E goals
