Ohio Improvement Process (OIP) Facilitating District-wide Improvement in Instructional Practices and Student Performance

OLAC Leadership Framework Provides Foundation for the Ohio Improvement Process

OIP is the enactment of Ohio’s Leadership Development Framework

District Leadership Team Building Leadership Teams Teacher Based Teams

Seven Core Principles of OIP 1.A focused plan aligns vision, mission, and philosophy. 2.The process is continuous and recursive, and the plan is a dynamic document. 3.The process relies on quality data interpretation. 4.All leadership teams use a collaborative, collegial process. 5.An efficient communication approach ensures all stakeholders are consistently informed of progress at each stage. 6.The process produces one focused, integrated plan that directs all work and resources. 7.The process expects substantive changes in student performance and adult practices as a result of implementing, monitoring and evaluating the process and plan.

Shift focus from single individuals to teams that can function as purposeful communities Distribute key leadership functions Align work system-wide while focusing on a limited number of data-based district goals Ensure effective leadership is exercised at all levels of the system Engage in all four stages of the OIP for the long-term Collaborative Leadership Team Structures in the OIP

District/Community School Leadership Team Responsibilities : Develop, implement and monitor a district focused action plan based on critical data Build a system-wide foundation for data-driven decision making Facilitate the development and use of collaborative structures (DLT, BLTs and TBTs) Using the Ohio 5-Step Process, monitor adult behaviors against student performance indicators designated in the plan Ensure high quality, differentiated PD consistent with district goals and based on adult and student data at all levels

Stage 0: Planning and Preparing for the Ohio Improvement Process

The OIP: Four Stages of Continuous Improvement

STAGE 1: IDENTIFY CRITICAL NEEDS DATA -- ask and answer essential and probing questions to identify strengths, needs and causes DECISION FRAMEWORK

Student Academic Performance and Growth Instructional and Administrative Staff Data Curriculum and Instruction Assessment Processes Culture Discipline Attendance Graduation Drop-out Shared Leadership Practices Infrastructure and Systems Decision Framework

DF District or Building Profile Results Select Limited Number of High Priorities High Priorities Become CCIP Needs Assessment Basis for OIP Plan to Improve Educational Outcomes for ALL Students

STAGE 2: DEVELOP FOCUSED PLAN Produce one focused, integrated plan that directs all district and/or building work and resources Goals Strategies Action Steps Indicators

Outcomes of Stage 2  Establish Adult Implementation and Student Performance Indicators for every Strategy  Create Action Steps and Tasks to support Strategies  Review, revise, and adopt OIP Plan  Develop 2-3 SMART Goals  Compose 2-3 Strategies for each Goal

Stage 3: Implement and Monitor the OIP Focused Action Plan Implementation Carry out the planned strategies and actions with fidelity Monitoring Ensure that both adults and students fulfill focused action plan expectations

Implementation Management and Monitoring Tool (IMM) Web-based tool Links automatically to CCIP Transfers CCIP Goals, Strategies and Action Steps into IMM School IMM linked to District IMM Generates valuable reports for monitoring progress –Goal Targets: Projected and Actual –Implementation Timeline –Communication

Stage 4: Evaluate the Improvement Plan and Process Identify and apply lessons learned Compare projected results with actual results Assess which adult practices impact student performance Identify strategies and actions with greatest impact Extend successes and eliminate unsuccessful practices Outcomes of Stage 4

Benefits of the Ohio Improvement Process Reduces Duplication of Effort Focuses on student success not programs Streamlines processes and procedures Promotes shared leadership and collaboration at all levels Builds personnel capacity Sustains entire system as learning organization

Where Are We Today? An Orientation Activity for DLT/CSLT, BLTs and TBTs Review Where Are We Today? Activity directions Without discussion, individually post “Strengths” and “Needs” notes on each OIP Stage poster Have one person per poster review post-it notes aloud Discuss as a group where your district/building is relative to the OIP

What Personality Are You in a Group? Compass Points Teaming Activity  Take out Compass Points activity and questions  Once reviewing the “Directions” descriptors whole group, go to self-selected “Direction”  Review activity questions and post answers with others in your “Direction”  Share out answers whole group  Debrief importance of activity for collaborative teaming
