Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is an organizational management activity that is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that employees and other stakeholders are working toward common goals, establish agreement around intended outcomes/results, and assess and adjust the organization's direction in response to a changing environment. It is a disciplined effort that produces fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, who it serves, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future.

Steps to Strategic Planning
There are many different frameworks and methodologies for strategic planning and management. While there are no absolute rules regarding the right framework, most follow a similar pattern and have common attributes.Many frameworks cycle through some variation on some very basic phases:

Steps to Strategic Planning
1) analysis or assessment, where an understanding of the current internal and external environments is developed, 2) strategy formulation, where high level strategy is developed and a basic organization level strategic plan is documented3) strategy execution, where the high level plan is translated into more operational planning and action items, and 4) evaluation or sustainment / management phase, where ongoing refinement and evaluation of performance, culture, communications, data reporting, and other strategic management issues occurs.

Why an “Academic” Improvement Plan (AIP)
• Arrived in RPS January 2014 (middle of then school Board’s tenure), limited to no staff in place, temps, several looming retirements, etc.
• Existing Strategic Plan sun-setting in 2015, no identifiable previous action taken recently, limited time and resources available
• Not intended to be a new strategic plan, but connected to existing plan where possible
• RPS needed research based plan (this was Board adopted school division plan-not administration plan) to:– Set priorities, – Focus energy,– Focus resources request and allocation,– Strengthen operations, – Establish common goals, – Agreement around intended outcomes/results, and – Assess and adjust RPS’s direction.

“Academic” Improvement Plan (AIP)
The purpose of the “Academic Improvement” Action Management Plan was to accelerate the progress of all student groups in Richmond Public Schools in meeting or exceeding the targeted standards. The goal of this work is to increase academic achievement and reduce achievement gaps between and among all student groups and to reach proficiency in academic standards by developing and implementing a plan with short-term and long-term impact that focuses on five core practices (see next slide).The AIP was grounded in the research-based practices of ACT’s National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA) and based on evidence of best practices in high performing districts, schools and classrooms that have been successful in preparing students for college, careers, and service in the community.

AIP and Connection to Previous Strategic Plan
Prior to establishing our deliverables we considered the current state of our system in terms of student performance, the collective professional capacity of our teachers and administrators, and features of the most recent strategic plan that were relevant to improving teaching and learning. In the document, you will find references to connect it with the previous strategic plan where possible in the project scope.
Example: Theme 1: Curriculum and Academic GoalDistrict Practice: Provide clear, prioritized learning objectives by grade and subject that all students are expected to master.RPS Strategic Plan: Develop and implement engaging, innovative, and rigorous curriculum that will optimize learning.

Why the Framework?12
![Page 13: Background & Update: “Academic” Improvement Plan...fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, who it serves, what it does, and why it ... remains](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042920/5f67a8024c975a290b709342/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
AIP - Research Based
We needed a compass to guide our work towards improvement and had limited time and resources.
The Framework was developed by a reputable organization that had researched the practices of 479 school systems chosen based on a careful analysis that identified consistent school performance over at least three years in multiple subjects. They also indicated they studied the findings of experts in effective schools research—most notably, Dr. Larry Lezotte of Effective Schools in Okemos, Michigan. Lezotte and Levine’s Unusually Effective Schools1 monograph (1990) remains a classic in the review and analysis of research related to effective school practices.

Why the Framework was aValuable Tool
• Provides a structure for organizational functions most directly impacting the improvement of instruction.
• Features those observable, interdependent practices found to be present in different quantity or quality in consistently high performing systems.
• Is a composite picture built from many individual cases.• Contains findings that emanate from schools with somewhat varied
demographics and in a number of states.• Is not a compendium of programs and strategies to adopt.• Is continually updated with visits to high- and average-performing
schools.• Provides critical actions (important part of a good plan) for District,
School and Classroom.Source: Just4Kids www.justkids.org (see handouts)

AIP Performance Targets
The Academic Improvement Plan has eight externally reportable performance targets (SMART Goals) for the 3 years (multi-year plan) tied to:1) State Accountability: SOL Accreditation2) Federal Accountability: Annual Measureable Objectives3) Early Childhood Readiness using PALS4) Participation in Advanced Programs (equity opportunities for IB,
AP, dual degree, etc.), 5) Number of students matriculating into college6) Career and Technical Education completion, and 7) Attendance Rate8) Graduation Rate

AIP Funding
The Academic Improvement Plan was a $23.5 million investment request over 3 years for an average cost of $7.8 million per year. Re-occurring cost $11.03 million.
• The plan has never been fully funded• The plan has received limited funded, approximately 23%
to date• RPS identified and re-directed over $1.8 million dollars to
help partially implement (piece meal) the plan.

AIP Results
The Academic Improvement Plan as articulated during the first year as a result of limited to no funding (approx. 23%) would/have slow to mixed and/or limited progress. Other issues have also contributed to the slow to limited progress.Snapshot:• SOL Accreditation – 17 schools fully accredited compared to 11, number of schools showed progress• Reading – improved 2% points since 2013-2014 SY (growth but missed performance target)• Math – improved 3% points since 2013-2014 SY• PALS – declined 10% points since 2013-2014 SY• Dual Enrollment – increased 127 students• PSAT 10 – declined 7 students since 2013-2014 SY after initial increase of 31 students• AP declined 130 students since 2013-2014 SY• IB increased 7 students since 2013-2014, after initial increase of 30 students• Two-Four Year College – increased 15 students (growth but missed performance target)• CTE Completers – decreased 64 students• Graduation Rate – decreased .2% points since 2013-2014 SY after initial increase of .9% points

Three Phases of Change• The Current State - The Current State is how things are done today. It
is the collection of processes, behaviors, tools, technologies, organizational structures and job roles that constitute how work is done.
• The Transition State - The Transition State is messy and disorganized. It is unpredictable and constantly in flux. The Transition State is often emotionally charged - with emotions ranging from despair to anxiety to anger to fear to relief. During the Transition State, productivity predictably declines.
• The Future State - The Future State is where we are trying to get to. It is often not fully defined, and can actually shift while we are trudging through the Transition State. The Future State is supposed to be better than the Current State in terms of performance.

Professional Development32
PDCC – approximately 40 people, 12 teachers, REA, Principals, etc. Goal was to build systemic professional capacity Combination of school-based and district-wide professional learning for teachers and
instructional staff. Cost - six additional days of professional development is $3.4 million. The cost of three
additional professional development days is $1.7 million. The cost of one additional day of professional development is approximately $566,000.
Impact on teacher contract - on average, teachers could expect to earn approximatelyan additional $275 per day. The exact compensation will be determined by Human Resources based upon each teacher’s contract status.
