Reflective Prioritization Activity Guidance and Tools

The Reflective Prioritization Activity (RPA) is a process to support campuses in planning for implementation of their 2020-2021 Targeted Improvement Plan (TIP) given the disruption of COVID-19 on their school improvement efforts in SY 2019-2020. The RPA provides a structured reflection for campuses to review the progress made this year in the implementation of focus areas surfaced in the ESF self-assessment or ESF diagnostic process. It also assists with determining how the campus can continue moving forward with their TIP to positively impact student outcomes.

The RPA is designed to replace the required TIP submission for Cycles 3 and 4 and will be submitted prior to the required initial TIP submission early next fall (August).

ESC staff and TEA School Improvement Specialists are available to offer support and guidance with this process.
