| FL | Signed into law 05/2006 | P-12 | School boards must annually approve improvement plans for all schools that address student achievement goals and strategies based on state and school district proficiency standards. The plans must include an accurate, data-based analysis of student achievement and other school performance data.
Beginning with plans approved for implementation in the 2007-2008 school year, each secondary school plan must include a redesign component based on the principles established in the High School Redesign Act. For each school in the district that earns a school grade of "C" or below, or is required to have a school improvement plan under No Child Left Behind, the school improvement plan shall, at a minimum, also include: 1. Professional development that supports enhanced and differentiated instructional strategies to improve teaching and learning.
2. Continuous use of disaggregated student achievement data to determine effectiveness of instructional strategies. 3. Ongoing informal and formal assessments to monitor individual student progress, including progress toward mastery of the Sunshine State Standards, and to redesign instruction if needed. 4. Alternative instructional delivery methods to support remediation, acceleration, and enrichment strategies.
