Unified Improvement Plans

  • Students

     

    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.

     

    2023 Timeline

    Draft Unified Improvement Plans (UIPs) are due on June 12, 2023. Drafts should be as complete as possible for the following tabs:  

    • Brief Description
    • Prior Year Reflection

    On Monday, June 5, there will be two optional, three-hour sessions (8:30 - 11:30 am, and 12:30 - 3:30 pm) to support school leadership teams in completing the Data Analysis and Root Cause Analysis in order to be prepared for June Leadership Week. As these sessions will be facilitated, please sign up in advance so we can ensure a facilitator for your school team.  Sign up using this link.

    School Leaders can sign up for one or more time slots (available from 9 am - 3 pm on June 12) for individual support in completing the first draft by clicking here. To sign up for support before June 12, use the link for Office Hours below or email Cori Canty.

    Continuous Improvement Trainings

    A representative from each school's administrative/leadership team should complete each of the three trainings before engaging in that section in the UIP-One. Recordings, and links to the slides are available below. Slides should be viewed in presentation or slideshow mode to be fully understood. Each school should have at least one representative take and master the short quizzes (1-3 questions) at the end of each training.
