What You Will Learn

Requirements for school accountability and improvement may change over the years, but the continuity of WestEd’s commitment to closing the achievement gap is stable and consistent. WestEd School Improvement Planning builds the capacity of schools, school districts, and state education agencies to improve educational programs and culture for all schools, all students.

The WestEd School Improvement Planning service helps districts and schools meet the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requirements, and ensures plans are monitored and refined annually through a continuous improvement process. Our methodology — driven by the Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement* — promotes systemic change in improving student outcomes.

Service Details

WestEd delivers high-quality support for school leadership teams. We help by:

  • Analyzing data to identify key areas of strengths and opportunities for improvement
  • Uncovering practices and processes for an effective system of continuous improvement
