Annual Implementation Plan (AIP)

6. Implementing the Annual Implementation Plan

Schools should establish appropriate systems and processes to collaboratively implement the AIP.

Some options for effective implementation and monitoring of the AIP include the following.

Processes led by school leadership or the school improvement team members

• The school improvement team (SIT) is responsible for implementation of the AIP.
• Team members regularly meet to monitor implementation, including by analysing data and reporting on progress.
• The SIT is responsible for providing the time and resources required for implementing regular professional development, collecting data, and gaining feedback from staff, students, and parents.
• Members of the SIT will take responsibility for the delivery of a component of the AIP.

Processes led by teams of staff

• Specific teams of staff support the implementation of AIP KIS across the school, for example, a team of staff with a specific focus on leading implementation of numeracy and a team of staff focused on implementing Respectful Relationships.
• The identified staff collaborate regularly and are responsible for overseeing the implementation and monitoring for their AIP area as required. They report back to leadership/SIT on progress regularly.
• The selected teams support the delivery of professional development, collecting data and gaining feedback from students and parents.

Processes for small schools

• Very small schools may wish to collaborate on AIP implementation as a network or cluster.
• In these instances, schools may have shared actions but undertake different tasks in response to their context.
• These schools can support each other with monitoring and critically reflecting on implementation.
