Our Approach

Policy

We believe that creating and implementing policies which remove structural and procedural barriers that impede the change of innovation is vital.

Practice

We believe in innovative practices that are responsive to student diversity, encourage student-directed learning, are evidence-based, and developed via ongoing collaboration between staff, students and community.

֎

Cohesive Leadership

We believe that a cohesive leadership team that is distributed across levels and is committed to driving change across the organization is an essential element for innovation.
Testimonials
 

The SIP Project has been an incredible catalyst for change in our school district. The focus on improvement science and personalized support with the grant award have been key to our success in increasing innovative opportunities for students with disabilities. We are proud that we’ve increased by 20% the number of students spending 80% or more of their day in general education settings in just 3 years with the support and guidance of the SIP Project.
