Purpose of an External Team Visit The School Improvement Plan Steering Committee believes there are several key elements to continuous school improvement. One aspect includes the input of all stakeholders (teachers, staff, students, parents, and administrators). The function of an external visitation team is to evaluate progress on each target area as well as the intervention strategies that have been implemented. The target areas addressed in this report are intended to meet state requirements for the school improvement process.
Friday, March 16, 2012
Goals for Today’s Visit • Review the School Improvement Processes that are in place at Pleasanton Public School and determine the effectiveness of the processes. • Provide input on their data collection. • Provide feedback on the interventions selected to improve student achievement. • Validate interventions at Pleasanton Public Schools. Provide specific feedback on what has been incorporated, what is going well, and what areas need improvement to be more effective.
