What is school improvement or CSI at SHAPE American High School and SHAPE American Middle School?
School Improvement or SIP in the current improvement cycle has becomes Continuous School Improvement (CSI). CSI is a joint collaborative effort between parent, community, students, teachers, and administrators to continuously improve the knowledge, skills, and guidance provided to all students. In other words, the purpose of the program, on a continuous basis is to verifiably improve all student performance.
In addition, the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation has been incorporated into global education accreditation system called Advanced Education. Advanced Education defines school improvement as a continuous process that operates on a five-year cycle. SHAPE American High School is currently beginning the 3rd year of the current five-year cycle. Our CSI Leaders have worked closely to refine our school improvement focus and commit all available resources to implementing a school-wide plan that supports our overarching student achievement goals.
Why is the Continuous School Improvement important?
Providing the best possible education for all students is critical to their future success as productive member of a global society. It provides documentation and not just the words.
