Cross-Cutting Big Ideas. These shall be submitted as an assurance within the ASSIST Platform at the time of submission of the revised DIP, by December 15, 2013 at the latest for the 2013-14 school year. A revised set of Big Ideas shall be submitted with each DIP on an annual basis.
Cross-Cutting Big Ideas. The District engaged in a district-wide review of data during the 2012-13 school year as a part of the requirement to develop reform plans for Xxxxxxxxxx School and the Xxxxxxx Human Resource Center, due to their designation as Priority schools in August 2012. The District shall review these data to identify 2-3 cross-cutting ideas designed to yield academic improvement for all students. These ideas shall become the basis for the revised DIP. These cross-cutting ideas should be based upon a wide range of data, and should incorporate strategies to improve proficiency, engage more students, reduce achievement gaps, improve basic literacy and numeracy skills, improve graduation rates, and provide more personalized learning options for all students. The District shall engage both the Intervention Specialists from Michigan State University and the School Improvement Facilitators from Oakland Schools, who collaborated with the District in this data initiative, in the DIP revision process. Due to the anticipated role in supporting the implementation of the plan, the Educational Service Provider shall be required to review the plan before its submission to the Michigan Department of Education. Failure to achieve such sign off from both parties shall constitute a material breach per Section B-9 below.
