Welcome to the North Dakota Program Help and Support website.

All schools in North Dakota participate in a Continuous Improvement Process. Continuous improvement means examining a school’s current reality including demographics, culture, technology, finances, and academic progress, among many other factors. In addition, continuous improvement means looking into the future and predicting what may change – what will be different a year from now, or 10 years from now.

North Dakota’s continuous improvement system includes the creation of a Strategy Map – a 3 to 5-year plan for the school. Strategy Maps are important measures of school quality and must be updated every year. The Department of Public Instruction administers and monitors these tools via Cognia’s online delivery platform, eProve.

Schools and districts can use the page menus on this website to navigate to helpful resources to enhance their school’s continuous improvement plans and guide school improvement initiatives.
