Missouri School Improvement Program
Missouri's standards for its schools have been reviewed and revised over time to reflect changing conditions, as well as changing demands of citizens and school patrons.
For more than 20 years, the Missouri School Improvement Program has had a focus on school improvement to ensure a quality public education system is available for its citizens throughout the state.
The Department will promulgate MSIP 5 Performance Standards and Indicators in 2011.
MSIP 5 policy goals are:
- Articulate the state's expectations for districts in driving actions for improving student achievement with the ultimate goal of all students graduating ready for success in college and careers;
- Distinguish performance of schools and districts in valid, accurate and meaningful ways so that districts in need of improvement can receive appropriate support and interventions to meet expectations and high-performing districts can be recognized as models of excellence;
- Empower all stakeholders through regular communication and transparent reporting of clear data on performance and results, so that they can take action appropriate to their roles; and
- Promote continuous improvement and innovation within each district on a statewide basis.
