Book excerpt: The Missouri State Board of Education and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education are dedicated to ensuring that all children have access to good schools that prepare them for college and career success. The Missouri School Improvement Program: Support and Intervention Plan takes a differentiated approach to state support based on student needs and district performance. The following principles are central to the development of this plan: (1) A focus on children and families; (2) High expectations for all students; (3) Access to high-quality schools for every child; (4) Solutions to meet the needs of each district and community; and (4) Early intervention and prevention. Identifying trends in student performance allows for a data-driven, early-detection support system. A tiered system provides optional access to high-quality educational supports for all districts and targeted supports and interventions to districts most in need. This approach maximizes the use of resources and is flexible enough to meet the many unique needs of the diverse districts in the state. This report provides details about the Missouri School Improvement Program and how it works. The following are appended: (1) The Missouri School Improvement Program; (2) Targeted Systems Reviews; (3) Resource and Process Standards for Missouri Public School Districts; (4) Role and Responsibilities of the Regional School Improvement Team (RSIT); and (4) State Board Options for Unaccredited Districts.
