Learning Targets We can embrace the notion that school
improvement is possible anywhere;
We can discuss the 12 conditions of successful schools;
We can identify the importance of the “other” SIP – School Improvement Process;
We can inspire ourselves and others to make a difference – one district, one school, one classroom, one student at a time!

The roadmap
First: I’ll prattle on a bit Then: You’ll have a chance to chat Next: I’ll command the airwaves After that: You’ll talk amongst
yourselves And then: I’ll go on and on Later: You’ll share some ideas Finally: I’ll give you a chance to ask
me to talk just a wee bit more
