Unified Improvement Plans
-
Schools can improve student learning and system effectiveness by engaging in a cycle of continuous improvement to manage their performance. The UIP template is designed to support schools in their performance management efforts. The Education Accountability Act of 2009 requires that each Colorado school create an annual improvement plan. To view school UIPs, please visit CDE's site.
ALL school Unified Improvement Plans (UIP) are due to the State October 15th. In order for AR&D to provide leaders with feedback prior to the UIP becoming a public document, plans should be uploaded in the CDE system for review by September 3rd.
