CORE ACADEMICS
School systems have a coherent academic foundation including a plan for high-quality curriculum, assessment, and teacher professional development across all grade levels and core content areas. This includes a plan for ensuring students have access to individual student graduation planning services, quality TOPS University and Jump Start diploma pathways, and college and career transitional supports.
DIVERSE NEEDS STUDENTS
School systems address the unique needs of all students including English Learners (ELs) and students with disabilities. This includes a plan for early and accurate identification, high-quality and aligned instruction, specialized supports, and coordinated transitions. Schools also focus on creating and maintaining a learning environment that develops social, emotional, and academic skills.
