This training helps to make school planning focused and attainable. It is intended to reduce the tension in schools by aligning the efforts of the staff around goals that are meaningful to them and that are supported by strategies to support their growth. Schools cannot be expected to respond to more than three goals at a time. They must be meaningful to teachers, the people who are charged with developing and implementing the plan to achieve those goals. School improvement is about enhancing instruction and increasing professional competence.
