Ira B. Jones School Improvement Team
School Improvement Teams are required by North Carolina law to develop school improvement plans. The team is composed of each school Principal, representatives of the Assistant Principals, Instructional Personnel, Instructional Support Personnel, Teacher Assistants assigned to the school building, and parents of students enrolled in the school. The representatives are elected by the respective group that each represents.
The School Improvement Team develops a Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (SIP), coordinates resources, ideas, and material to support individual school-wide improvement initiatives. The team helps to build student, teacher, and leadership capacity and drives the school culture. The SIT forms an integral part of the school’s leadership structure, undertaking the crucial role of developing, overseeing, and evaluating the effectiveness and impact of the School Improvement Plan (SIP) each year. It is responsible for leading the strategic planning process, providing clear and achievable goals and targets for our school. The team comprises representatives from across the school and has a shared understanding of the SIT's role in supporting, driving, and monitoring improvement.
School Improvement Planning is more than a plan; it is a framework for change. The plan itself is simply a map that identifies the school’s destination and requires decision-making and action from various stakeholders to reach that destination in the most direct route.
Our Team's Goals & Objectives
- Establish a foundation for systemic continuous school improvement by identifying strengths and opportunities for growth for the school and school community.
- Collaboratively develop and communicate a clear vision for continuous systemic improvement (academic achievement and social-emotional growth) grounded in research-based outcomes supported by historical data and feedback from staff members, parents, community-based partners, students, and district personnel.
- Identify the strengths and areas for growth in curriculum and instruction to provide targeted professional development and continuous improvement.
- Identify strengths and targeted areas for growth in parental and community involvement to increase school activities and events.
