School Support and Improvement

Overview

The USBE School Improvement Team is specifically tasked with notifying LEAs and schools of school improvement designations, providing support and technical assistance, and monitoring school improvement processes for LEAs and schools that are part of the state and federal shool improvement initiatives.

Mission Statement

To create an aligned, equitable system of supports for school improvement where all Utah schools engage in the continuous improvement cycle resulting in safe, healthy schools for all students where achievement gaps close, graduation rates increase, families and communities are engaged, and students are college and career ready.

USBE Theory of Action for School Improvement: 

The USBE continuous improvement cycle utilizes WestEd’s Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement framework that integrates core areas of focus with critical practices for achieving rapid and significant improvement. Tools, support, and professional learning provided by the USBE aligns with the Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement and School Improvement Plans for CSI schools should also be framed utilizing the Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement.
