What is PIM™?

PIM™ is a unique service offered by The Leadership and Learning Center for schools, central office departments, and school systems.  The PIM™ process includes an intensive review of the school plans, such as the School Improvement Plan, Strategic Plan, Accountability Plan, or other documents required by state or district authorities.  The PIM™ process compares each plan to a rubric developed in cooperation with the district and then provides individualized feedback to each building principal, department leader, and superintendent.

How will PIM™ help student achievement?

Our analytical process identifies the specific characteristics of building planning, implementation, and monitoring that are most associated with student achievement.  In most cases, only a few of these characteristics have strong relationships to student achievement.  This insight saves time for teachers, principals, and district leaders because it allows them to focus their energy on those professional practices and processes that are most related to improving student achievement.

How long does the PIM™ analysis take?

Typically we can complete an entire school system in less than 60 days from the time we receive the documents.  Our written analysis includes an overall district analysis and personalized feedback for each school and central office department that submits a plan.
