B3.1.1   Leadershipà Instructional Leadership à Annual curriculum plan

Rating
A	Not Demonstrated	No attempt made to enrich the curriculum The school head has made no, or almost negligible, attempt to create/customize the school curriculum. The school does not even fulfill all the requirements of the annual curriculum as prescribed by the government/board.
B	Developing	Attempt at achieving completeness of curriculum School head has made attempts to make the curriculum complete, to incorporate prescribed curricular and co-curricular activities, but the number and variety is far below the expected level. Improvements are necessary in the variety of curricular options, co-curricular activities, scheduling of events, deployment of teachers and resource utilization. More participatory and comprehensive approach is needed.
C	Proficient	Curriculum focuses on comprehensiveness and participation Attempts are made to make the curriculum more comprehensive, the curriculum planning done with improved participation; balance of instructional activities and co/extra-curricular activities is evident. However, there is no attempt to do anything out of the ordinary and it fulfills only the minimum expectations of curricular balance and variety. Need for an annual review of previous year’s curriculum plan, its achievements and failures to be discussed before drawing the new plan.
D	Accomplished	Attempt to enrich curriculum through out - of - classroom practices, self-evaluation of curriculum plan is periodic The school head has managed to enrich the curriculum through out-of-classroom activities. The curricular and co-curricular content is properly aligned to the national guidelines, and the academic calendar is scheduled with proper load and variety of activities. The curriculum is well-balanced, and shows a blend of contemporary trends and traditional practices, progressive and flexible to accommodate changing needs, supported with latest educational technologies and information systems. Periodic evaluation followed by the implementation of corrective measures based on feedback from evaluation is evident, and the next year’s plan takes care of addressing these issues.
E	Distinguished	Attempts to establish centre of excellence The school head has created a unique curriculum plan that distinguishes the school from other schools. Focused efforts to identify and establish areas of excellence, enriched curriculum with innovative and focused practices aimed at building competency in the identified areas and building the school’s identity as a resource center. There is a unique system to identify the shortcomings in the curriculum plan; and a mechanism to demonstrate continuous improvement through monitoring and tracking of effective corrections and scheduled monitoring of the effectiveness of feedback. Successful efforts to showcase the unique curriculum planning process to other schools.
