Continuous Improvement Plans

What is the Continuous Improvement Process?

Schools and districts in Oregon are called upon to engage in continuous improvement work to improve outcom

es for students.
A continuous improvement process is the process by which districts and schools:

• Determine what is working and what needs to change;
• Establish a process to engage stakeholders to effect change;
• Leverage effective practices to implement a plan;
• Use data to monitor and make timely adjustments to improve outcomes.

The continuous improvement process results in the development of an ambitious, priority-driven action plan where routine collaboration and decision-making among district leaders is reflected throughout implementation. 

The Every Student Succeeds Act requires states to develop accountability models that meaningfully differentiate schools for supports. As part of Oregon’s commitment to strengthening school district systems, ODE will partner with school districts to better support schools in need of targeted or comprehensive supports.  Laurel Elementary, Oaklea Middle School, and Junction City High School are identified as Targeted Support & Improvement Schools. This is defined as "any school with a specific group of students with a Level 1 in at least half of the rated indicators, which include four-year graduation rate and five-year completer rate."
