School Improvement Systems (OIP Process)

What is the Ohio Improvement Process (OIP)?

 

OIP Process Whole

Ohio's Statewide System of Support utilizes the Ohio Improvement Process as a framework to establish systemic collaborative structures. These structures support the development and implementation of focused goals and strategic plans looking at both student academic and non-academic needs. 

The Ohio Improvement Process (OIP) includes, but goes well beyond, the traditional plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycle. When viewed as an organizational strategy, rather than an exercise in compliance, the OIP gives districts a template through which focused and intentional action can take place. It brings educators together through collaborative team structures to learn from each other, and it facilitates communication and decision-making between and across levels of the system (district, central office, school, grade levels, content areas, classrooms).

The team structures at the core of the OIP form peer-to-peer networks, giving more people a voice and allowing for the inclusion of multiple perspectives in guiding each district’s journey toward organizational learning and continuous improvement.
