Statement of Quality Assurance
Effective and timely use of data allows systems to make decisions to best utilize those interventions that are having a positive impact on
student achievement. To ensure that school improvement stakeholders have a common understanding regarding the development and
implementation of the Continuous School Improvement Plan prior to its approval, each party is asked to carefully review this section
and the plan in its entirety.

Annual Action Plan RUBRIC
rlb
6/14/2012
This document is a draft of the Annual Action Plan Rubric. It is designed to serve as the monitoring tool used to determine the depth and rigor of the content of the Annual Action Plan for all 50 schools. There are a total of 9 indicators.

required? Where it is required? Who should do it? When is it required? Planning Standard 1: Collecting and analyzing all appropriate data, determining root causes and SMART goals? LK Instructional Leadership 1.3 Uses Student Achievement data to determine school effectiveness and directs school staff to actively analyze data
for improving results.
P 1.1 Collecting all relevant student learning data including student learning
(achievement), demographic, perception and process Not Addressed Emergent Operational Fully Operational No evidence of the school’s
identification of the 4 types of
data to inform the development
of the Annual Action Plan.
There is some evidence of the
school leadership team
members using 1-2 types of
data to inform the development
of the Annual Action Plan.
Some teachers, leadership
team members and
administrators review data to
include but not limited to
(Student learning

All teachers, leadership team members and

of data including (student learning

Plan: The Planning is combined of What and How questions: What is required? How much
is required? Where it is required? Who should do it? When is it required? Planning Standard 1: Collecting and analyzing all appropriate data, determining root causes and SMART goals? LK Instructional Leadership 1.2 Analyzes current academic achievement data and instructional strategies to make appropriate educational
decisions to improve classroom instruction, increase student achievement and improve overall school effectiveness.
LK Planning and Assessment 3.9 Uses assessment information in making recommendations or decisions that are in the best interest of the
learner/school/district.
P 1.2 Analyzing data to prioritize needs. Not Addressed Emergent Operational Fully Operational No formalized and systematic
data analysis process is in place
that allows the school to
prioritize needs based on
student learning questions,
demographic questions,
perception data questions or
process data questions.
Although student achievement
summative data is included as
part of the school analysis
process, no comprehensive
review of student learning
(achievement) demographic,
perception, or process data is
evident.
We look at the students failing
and meet with them to provide
support and to emphasize the
amount of responsibility they
have with their grades. We talk
about the supports in place for
them and offer tutoring.
A formalized and systematic
review of data to include but
not limited to student learning
(achievement), demographic,
perception data, or process data
is evident. Greater emphasis
should be given to deeper
questioning of these types of
data targeted to determine
student’s overall strengths and
areas of need and trends for the
last 3 years. Identify processes
that create barriers to student
learning, maximize student
learning, determine data
sources that align with
perceptions, or demographic
data that influences school
wide policies and procedures.
A formalized and systematic review of data
that includes student learning (achievement),
demographic, perception, and process is fully
operational in all aspects of the Annual
Improvement Plan. Through the exhaustive
questioning of these various data sources the
school is poised to address barriers to student
achievement and identify methods to
maximize student achievement. This process
for analyzing data will ensure that individual
learners, subgroups of students and the
school community as a whole are successful.

Plan: The Planning is combined of What and How questions: What is required? How much
is required? Where it is required? Who should do it? When is it required? Planning Standard 1: Collecting and analyzing all appropriate data, determining root causes and SMART goals? LK Instructional Leadership 1.7 Works collaboratively with staff to identify needs and to design, revise, and monitor instruction to ensure
effective delivery of the required curriculum.
P 1.3 Determine potential root causes. Not Addressed Emergent Operational Fully Operational Determination of potential root
causes is not evident at the
school level within the Annual
Action Plan. Hence, the
school’s plan is not reflective
of identification of possible
causes from the data or if adult
practices or student practices
are the cause of the data.
Determination of potential root
causes is apparent in some
aspects of the Annual Action
Plan at a cursory level. More
emphasis in determining
possible causes of this data and
influential impacts on the data
would yield greater results.
Determination of potential root
causes is apparent in most of
the Annual Action Plan beyond
the cursory level identifying
actual causes of the data. It is
evident that the school has
identified possible causes of
their data as evidenced in their
goal setting, strategies or
interventions employed.
We identified where we are as
a school, and infused
vocabulary development and
analyzing the data. We look at
the data from the CRCT and
determine the root causes –
behavior, absenteeism, etc.
Determination of potential root causes is
apparent in all aspects of the Annual Action
Plan identifying actual causes of the data. It
is evident that the school has identified
possible causes of their data as evidenced in
the goal setting, strategies and interventions
employed.

QAP Quarterly Action Plan
Rationale:
This tool is designed to provide a systemic approach to ensuring the monitoring and allocation of support and
resources to all schools in Henry County. Moreover, through this monitoring process led by the Executive Officers
(of each respective area) in conjunction with school-based leaders (principals) provides the foundation for
ensuring the following:
Develop knowledge and skills to monitor and improve group processes (i.e. leadership teams, data teams,
departments, etc.)
Align professional learning with expected adult outcomes
Describe desired classroom practices and communicate how these practices connect to the school
improvement goals
Monitor a comprehensive plan for conducting ongoing evaluation of the impact of professional
development on teacher practices and student achievement
Use and maximize the use of technology available to enhance teaching strategies and student achievement
How the Quarterly Action Plans will impact and guide the following components necessary for Continuous
Improvement efforts in the district:
AST (Area Support Team) (Mr. Greg Benton, Dr. Raymond Bryant, Jr., Mr. Philip Mellor)
o Data and trends extrapolated by review of QAP’s will be shared, discussed and acted upon
appropriately by AST members
o Provides central guidance and focus for AST members to align themselves with school needs and
areas of support
