One Plan is a comprehensive school improvement initiative that uses a series of evidence-based strategies and action steps to meet school needs and improve outcomes for all students.
Through a comprehensive needs assessment and planning process, TRECA Digital Academy identified school needs and planned a series of evidence-based strategies and action steps to improve outcomes for all students.
The following goals and strategies will be in effect during the 2025-2028 school years.
| Goal | Strategy | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation | Check & Connect | Check & Connect is an intervention to reduce dropping out of school. It is based on monitoring of school performance, mentoring, case management, and other supports. The “Check” component is designed to continually monitor student performance and progress. The “Connect” component involves program staff giving individualized attention to students in partnership with other school staff, family members, and community service organizations. Check & Connect mentors provide ongoing feedback and encouragement and emphasize the importance of staying in school (WWC, 2015). |
| Literacy | Understanding by Design (UbD) | Understanding by Design by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe offers a framework for designing courses and content units called “Backward Design.” The backward design framework suggests that instructors should consider overarching learning goals and how students will be assessed prior to consideration of how to teach the content (Bowen, 2017). |
| Mathematics | Zearn Math | Zearn Math is built on research-based principles of high-quality instructional materials and a recognition that such materials are most impactful when well-supported by intensive, curriculum-specific professional learning opportunities. Zearn's approach uses engaging independent digital lessons to differentiate grade-level instruction for all students, designed to integrate with the existing mathematics curriculum to create a cohesive classroom system (IES, 2023). |
