The Office of School Improvement (OSI) assists schools in developing School Improvement Plans (SIPs) that are in alignment with the District Strategic Plan and state and federal requirements. 

Assistance to schools with the development of School Improvement Plans ensures compliance with the Florida Department of Education and federal legislation.  Beginning with the 2008-2009 school year, Miami-Dade County Public Schools is participating in Florida's Differentiated Accountability Model, a four-year pilot program intended to merge the state and federal accountability programs.  This model provides seamless support for schools designated as Prevent, Focus/Correct, and Priority/Intervene.
