School improvement is the single most important focus of Margaret Brent Elementary in that it is a continuous process to ensure that ALL students are provided access, opportunity and support to achieve at high levels.

The School Improvement Plan (SIP) identifies the academic and priority goals along with strategies for the school year and beyond. School leadership and school leadership teams review the MBES SIP annually to refine Margaret Brent’s targeted work to raise student achievement and prepare every student for a successful future. Areas of focus of the SIP include:

• Specific, targeted goal(s) that address student achievement

• Strategies that are based on scientific research and that are proven to improve the core academic areas as outlined in the SIP goal(s)

• Benchmarks and measurements to verify that the strategies being implemented are working. Objectives must be clearly stated and measurable throughout the SIP timeframe

• Professional development for educators to further enhance their capacity to support the SIP goal(s)
