The Diploma Plus model successfully transforms students' learning experiences through the implementation of our Four Essentials for Success: Competency-based Systems, Supportive School Culture, Future Focus, and Effective Supports.
|
COMPETENCY-Based System
Our schools provide curriculum, instruction and assessments focused on knowledge, skills and understandings that are competency-based and standards-aligned. Students advance at their own pace, and are promoted or graduated according to their abilities in core competencies rather than seat time, age, or credits.
|
Supportive School Culture
Our schools promote equity to create and sustain a school climate that explores, respects, and responds to school norms that nurture diversity built on positive relationships among students, staff, parents/families and community. Central to achieving a Supportive School Culture, is a low counselor-to-student ratio accompanied by access to social-emotional and mental health supports.
|
Future Focus
Our model involves the development of a Personalized Success Plan designed to empower students with the knowledge to unlock their future.
