The School Improvement Plan (SIP) is a planning tool designed to address student achievement and system needs identified through the school's Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA). Additionally, the SIP provides a method for schools to address the school improvement planning requirements of the Public Act 25 of the Revised School Code and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as applicable. 

For the 2016-2017 school year, schools may choose to attach the 2015-2016 Executive Summary and School Data Analysis to the current School Improvement Plan. If your school is making progress and moving in the right direction, there should be no major change in your School Improvement Plan. If this is the case, you may want to consider copying your current School Data Analysis and Executive Summary for inclusion in this year’s School Improvement Plan, rather than creating a new one.

In addition, ASSIST now offers the option to view only selected components of the SIP as a PDF (Portable Document Format).  The PDF then can  be downloaded or printed.  Additional information can be found in the Quick Guide for Displaying Sections in a Plan.

The district and school reports for the 2015-2016 school year are currently in the process of being assigned.  Due the large volume of reports, this process can take several weeks.  Please remember that all diagnostics are open in ASSIST. It is not necessary to wait for the reports to be assigned before starting work on the individual diagnostics.  All schools, districts and educational service agencies always have access to diagnostics.  In addition, please keep in mind that many of the diagnostics can be copied from year to year.  View the Copy a Diagnostic Quick Guide for more information.
