Making a School Development
Plan
kashyapiawasthi@gmail.com
“The most effective planning is proportionate in
terms of principles, priorities and outcomes. It finds
solutions by building on strengths. It has children at
its heart, rather than innovation for its own sake.
All staff adopt creative approaches and innovative
practices when these are the best ways of building
on learners’strengths and responding to their needs,
and result in clear educational gain. The
effectiveness of improvement planning, therefore, is
discernible in the extent and quality of its outcomes
for children and young people.”
The Journey to Excellence Part 4: Planning for Excellence
