//Introduction to// **Component 6 – The School Improvement Plan and Process Evaluation **

Careful study, thoughtful planning, and hard work invested by the school in developing its school improvement plan will not yield any significant benefits to the school unless the plan is actually implemented. The purpose of the school improvement process is not to simply develop a plan but to improve student achievement, and to build and strengthen the instructional and organizational capacity of the school.
