The purpose of Improvement Planning is to improve the quality of the student experience with teaching and learning in Idaho schools and districts. The Improvement Plan provides the framework for analyzing problems, identifying underlying causes, and addressing instructional issues in a school or district that has not made sufficient progress in student achievement.
The Improvement Plan should embody a plan that is comprehensive, highly structured specific and focused primarily on the school's instructional program. The plan should incorporate strategies based on scientifically based research that will strengthen the core academic subjects in the school and address the specific academic issues that caused the school to be identified for school improvement.

Improvement Plans are to be written in Idaho's online system for Improvement Planning: The WISE (Ways to Improve School Effectiveness) Tool. These Improvement Plans are to be written based on existing funds available to the district/school, and provide clear direction as to how the district/school will address the areas for which AYP was not met.
