NCSIG ONLINE PLANNING TOOL

The NC SIG Online Planning Tool is a collaborative effort between the NC Department of Public Instruction and the Center on Innovation and Improvement. The purpose of the tool is to both ensure compliance relative to SIG requirements, and to provide our schools with a platform to streamline efforts based on what the research reveals regarding turnaround/transformation schools. Additionally, the tool provides us with a portal for both data and processing that will allow us to sustain and replicate efforts currently underway in our SIG schools. Timelines for submissions are noted within the tool. The tool is accessed via the Center's Indistar website at www.indistar.org.
