The School Improvement Process (SIP)...What is it?
SIP is our local effort to improve our school. This effort is
based on the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Community
Strategic Plan. Goal #1 of the Community Strategic Plan promotes highest student
achievement. Ansbach Middle/High School has looked at our data concerning
student achievement, and we have seen a need to focus our efforts in the area of
reading. School improvement is organized on a five year cycle, of which we are
in year four. Our goal is:
All Students will increase their reading comprehension skills
in all content areas.
Our strategies for improving reading comprehension include:
Teacher directed instruction to improve reading comprehension
Targeting ‘at risk’ students for additional support*
Giving students additional time and resources as related to reading
*at risk is defined as students who score below the 40%ile in
reading on standardize assessment and/or students who are exhibiting continued
academic difficulties
