School Recognition and Support
Below you will find the documents and resources used to create school improvement plans that will not only keep schools and districts in compliance with ESSA regulations but also assist in the creation of viable, research and data-backed plans that will see schools through the next few years of planning and implementation.
Quarterly Progress Monitoring Form
For schools in the Empowerment Process, Quarterly Progress Reports are required by the state. This progress monitoring is intended to ensure the School Improvement Plan stays on track as well as create an awareness of actions and responsibilities of members. Note that this form has built-in agenda components- the times listed are suggested times for each section to keep the meeting on track. Make sure that there is a notetaker assigned to take notes within the form. It is the principal’s responsibility to submit the form for the Quarterly Progress Monitoring to the District Liaison for School Improvement before the due date. The template for the School Improvement Quarterly Progress Monitoring form can be found at https://education.alaska.gov/forms/05-24-024.docx. When sending this form to the district for submission, please title it with the following format: SchoolName_Quarterly Report_Quarter #. If you would like to view the webinar covering the Quarterly Progress Reporting, it can be found on the School Recognition and Support Webinars page, in the Archived Webinars table.

Accountability System for successful schools
School Improvement is part of the ESEA monitoring process the department conducts. Within the ESEA Monitoring Form, found on the ESEA Web Page linked above, the School Improvement indicators are Title I-A 35 and 36. Districts being monitored will provide the department with various artifacts and evidence to show how the district and schools are carrying out the requirements outlined in the ESEA Monitoring Form. Examples of documentation districts and schools submit include, but are not limited to, evidence of stakeholder input (e.g., meeting notices, sign-in sheets, meeting minutes), current plans, and evidence of implementation of plan.
