Continuous Improvement Planning

Priorities

• Continuous improvement is an ongoing cycle through readiness, plan, do, study/check, and act. At the beginning and throughout the continuous improvement process, teams ensure readiness by establishing and reviewing vision, mission, values, and beliefs. Teams also establish and review structures and processes necessary to improve educator practices and student outcomes. Teams then plan by identifying successes and needs of students and educator practices and planning to address those needs. The do step reflects the work of the team using improvement cycles to implement and monitor the plan to achieve district or school goals. During this step, teams also monitor evidence of fidelity of implementation. During study/check, teams continue to review evidence of implementation and review changes in educator practice and student outcomes. 

• The Wisconsin Vision for Continuous Improvement priorities include:

  • To achieve the goal of cutting Wisconsin's persistent achievement gaps in half.
