In order to figure out what Action Steps your school needs to include in your Continuous Improvement Plan, we suggest that your school uses the new Self-Assessment Tool that we created that encompasses all of our Supportive Schools Certification requirements and gives you suggested Priority Action Steps that could be apart of your Continuous Improvement Plan. If you would rather use another self-assessment tool that is okay as well. A self-assessment is a great way to figure out what Action Steps your school should include in your school's Continuous Improvement Plan.
