Strategic Data Project Convening 2019

For the 2018-2019 school year, Chesterfield County Public Schools (CCPS) reinvented its state-mandated School Innovation and Improvement Planning process (SIIP) around the principles of performance management and improvement science. Each 63 CCPS schools completed a Preliminary Needs Assessment that led them through a review of critical data to better define goals for the SIIP process. To accommodate more meaningful and ambitious reform strategies, schools wrote three-year goals and chose quantitative data that measures interim benchmarks towards goal completion each semester. Then they selected initial action steps that they believed would move their chosen metric, which they review at the end of each semester. Movement in the measure suggests the school keep the same action steps. Measures that do not improve provides an opportunity to reflect as to whether the plan should change.

In this workshop, we will describe the development of the revised process and the principles from performance management and improvement science theory that informed this process. Participants will dig into the data, practice goal and benchmark setting, and design action steps to internalize the process. At the conclusion of this process and if time permits, participants will share feedback on the process and highlights from their plans.
