THE CCEP assists schools develop their School Improvement Plans
The CCEP is working with schools in Jamaica to craft their School Improvement Plans (SIP). These SIPs are informed by important sources of data, including:
the latest report of the National Education Inspectorate on the particular school, the evaluation of the school’s latest SIP – if it had one, and a SWOT analysis
The approach used by the CCEP is highly consultative. The first consultative session is a town-hall style meeting involving representatives from every conceivable stakeholder grouping of the school. These stakeholders include:
This first session is devoted to re-imagining the future school and the major outcomes; this includes new Vision and Mission statements. Two subsequent sessions are held with smaller groupings of stakeholders at which school-wide and departmental objectives are developed and strategies to achieve them agreed. The final session is a feedback session where the draft plan is presented, discussed, and refined.
The CCEP has employed this strategy to assist three (3) secondary schools in Jamaica to complete their strategic plans. The schools that used the services of the CCEP to develop their SIPs are Spalding High School in Clarendon, Rhodes Hall High School in Hanover and Iona High School in St. Mary.
Our 7 faculties and 12 professional schools offer more than 200 programmes to some 18,000 graduate, undergraduate and continuing studies students.
The UWI, Mona ranks first in Jamaica among accredited tertiary-level programmes. In 2012, the University was again one of Jamaica’s Top 100 Employers.
