School System Improvement Resource Guide (SSIRG)
Revised July 2005
OSPI and the Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA), working with a team of superintendents and central office administrators, have developed this publication to:
- Support districts as they analyze existing systems and look at additional district-wide structures they may need to create a culture in which the importance of student achievement is reflected in an ongoing, data-driven process.
- Provide a model planning process that fits the parameters defined by the federal government for those districts that must develop a district improvement plan as a result of not meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in one or more areas over a two-year period.
- Highlight research findings from state and national experiences that provide examples of best practices with proven track records of success in improving student learning.
