Write SMART goals and action steps for a school improvement plan
Turns needs-assessment data into measurable school improvement goals, strategies, and progress checks.
The prompt
Help me write the goals section of our school improvement plan.
School and level: [DETAILS]
Needs-assessment findings: [DATA - e.g. "3rd grade ELA proficiency 41%, down 6 points; EL students 18%"]
Priority areas we chose: [2-3 AREAS]
Required template or framework: [e.g. state CSI/TSI plan, district template]
Resources: [funding sources such as Title I, staff time, PD days]
For each priority:
1. A SMART goal tied to a state accountability measure or local assessment, with baseline and target (e.g. "from 41% to 50% by spring 2027").
2. Root cause in one sentence, based on the data I gave.
3. 2-3 evidence-based strategies, noting the evidence level (strong / moderate / promising) where I need to justify it, marked [CONFIRM SOURCE].
4. Action steps: who, what, by when.
5. Interim measures to check each quarter.
6. Professional learning needed and how it will be funded.
Rules:
- No goal without a baseline; use [ADD BASELINE] if I did not give one.
- Keep it to what the team can actually do this year; tell me if I listed too much.
- Include goals for student groups showing the largest gaps.
Return a table per goal (Goal | Strategy | Actions | Owner | Timeline | Interim measure | Funding), then a one-paragraph summary I can share with staff and families.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
