2 Guide to developing the Annual Implementation Plan: for Improving Student Outcomes To focus effort where it is most needed, four priorities have been identified for the entire Victorian government school system. The four priorities are: Excellence in teaching and learning Professional leadership Positive climate for learning Community engagement in learning. Six evidence-based initiatives assist schools to identify and utilise the most effective, relevant and evidence-based strategies that when implemented with consistency and depth help drive improved student outcomes. The initiatives are associated with the four state-wide priorities, in the following way (please refer to the Framework for Improving Student Outcomes: Guidelines for schools): Priority Initiatives Excellence in teaching and learning Building practice excellence: Teachers, principals and schools will work together Curriculum planning and assessment: School will embed a culture of curriculum planning, and assess the impact of learning programs, adjusting them to suit individual student needs Professional leadership Building leadership teams: Schools will strengthen their succession planning, develop the capabilities of their leadership teams in using evidence Positive climate for learning Empowering students and building school pride: Schools will develop approaches that give students a greater say Setting expectations and promoting inclusion: Schools will work across their communities to implement support to health, wellbeing, inclusion and engagement of all students Community engagement in learning Building communities: Schools will strengthen their capacity to build relationships with the broader community by partnering To guide the development of the 2016 Annual Implementation Plan: for Improving Student Outcomes (AIP) schools will work with support from Senior Education Improvement Leaders (SEIL) to conduct an annual evaluation of student outcomes data against the targets set in their School Strategic Plan. Schools then diagnose the issues requiring particular attention and select one or more initiative. Principal and teacher performance and development plans include explicit links with the AIP and the School Strategic Plan. This ensures a line of sight from school improvement priorities and initiatives to each individual s plan. The Guidelines provide further context and detailed information to support this work.
