Comer (School Development Process)

Many Guilford County Schools have adopted the School Development Process. The mission of the Process is to use child development and relationship theories and principles to improve the academic achievement and psychological functioning of students in a significant number of schools.

The purpose of the School Development Process (SDP) is to provide a systems approach to management using the talents, interests and abilities of all stakeholders as collaborative decision makers in developing policies, procedures, programs and strategies that contribute to high academic achievement and positive school climate.

The SDP Program Goals and Objectives are to promote parental involvement and shared decision-making, to enhance the quality of internal and external student and staff services, and to create the social and psychological climate needed to promote learning.
