Schools use a vision-based, data-driven process called VISION-TO-ACTION to:

1)Create a common vision of academic rigor

2)Set concrete academic goals

3)Identify areas in the school and community that are currently interfering with achievement

4)Agree to strategies to address the areas blocking achievement

5)Monitor the strategy implementation

The school-community connection at George Washington Community School has been strengthened through the school's participation in the Indiana Student Achievement Institute.  Teachers, parents, business representatives, and students work together in the Institute's Vision-to-Action process for systemic change to analyze data about the school and create a shared vision and road map for student success.  The process has helped to increase the alignment between the work of community partners and the school's core instructional programs.

“Many of Indiana’s schools have been led through a vision-based school improvement process facilitated by [InSAI]. A steering team composed of school staff, parents and a business representative guide shared decision making between all administrators, all teachers, all students, parents, business representatives, and community members. A hallmark of the process is embracing and working through resistance for systemic change.”

In addition, our district has had (4) audits in the (4) years I have served as Title I program administrator - national, regional, and state audits.   Because of the InSAI process used in writing our school improvement plans, our district has not been cited for any major compliance issues from any of these audits.

The InSAI school improvement planning process has helped our schools become more focused, involved and cohesive in our efforts to improve the learning of all of our students. 

Our district has used the InSAI process to develop district strategies based upon school needs and concerns.  The InSAI staff has provided exceptional support and guidance through the process.
