Course Overview
The Quality Improvement Plan. Three words that can make even experienced educators sigh.
If your QIP feels like something leadership manages, something you revisit before assessment and rating, or a document that gets updated and then sits on a shelf, this course is for you.
This practical course cuts through the confusion and shows you what a QIP is actually designed to do and how it can become a useful part of everyday practice, rather than just another compliance task. You’ll explore why QIPs often don’t work in practice, how to write meaningful goals, and how to turn your QIP into something your whole team can understand and use.
What You’ll Learn
- Understand why QIPs often don’t work and what they are designed to achieve.
- Write meaningful QIP goals that support real improvement and change.
- Use practical strategies and tools to make your QIP part of everyday practice.

Course Content
Explore the key topics and practical strategies covered in this course.
The QIP Isn't Working
Invisible tools don’t improve practice. Explore why QIPs can become disconnected from everyday practice, the barriers that get in the way, and how moving beyond a tick-the-box approach can create meaningful improvement.
What the QIP Really Is
Reset how the QIP is viewed and see it as an ongoing process, not a document that sits on a shelf. Explore how the QIP cycle works, from service philosophy and self-assessment through to identifying priorities, taking action, and reviewing progress. Explore how educator voice and everyday practice can drive meaningful continuous improvement.
Make The QIP Work
Learn how to turn everyday observations into meaningful action, write clear and effective goals, including SMART goals, and keep the QIP active by involving the whole team in continuous improvement.
