Align is a comprehensive school improvement framework that helps schools create a shared vision, develop a plan for action, and monitor their progress towards achieving their goals. It is based on the belief that all students can succeed when they are provided with a high-quality education. Align provides schools with the tools and resources they need to create a school culture that is focused on student success. By following the Align framework, schools can improve student outcomes, close achievement gaps, and create a more positive school climate.

The Align Framework

The Align framework consists of four key components:

1. Shared Vision: A shared vision is a clear and concise statement of what the school wants to achieve. It should be developed with input from all stakeholders, including students, parents, teachers, and staff. The shared vision should be aspirational, yet achievable.
2. Plan for Action: The plan for action is a roadmap for how the school will achieve its shared vision. It should include specific goals, objectives, and strategies. The plan for action should be based on evidence and should be aligned with the school's resources.
3. Monitoring Progress: Monitoring progress is essential for ensuring that the school is on track to achieve its goals. Schools should develop a system for tracking their progress towards their goals. This system should be used to identify areas where the school is making progress and areas where the school needs to improve.
4. Continuous Improvement: Continuous improvement is a process of ongoing reflection and refinement. Schools should regularly review their progress and make adjustments to their shared vision, plan for action, and monitoring system as needed. By continuously improving, schools can ensure that they are providing the best possible education for their students.

• Improved student outcomes
