Outlook Academy

“The Living School Performance Plan”

Outlook Academy is an extension of support for cooperating schools identified as needing Targeted Support (TSI) and Intervention or Assisted Targeted Support and Intervention (ATSI).  The focus is the analysis of the interventions that schools and districts use to address subgroup achievement disparities.  A function of Outlook Academy is a deeper understanding of organizational interventions and authentication of specific supports needed.  The overarching objective is to engage a cluster of schools using a longitudinal participatory action research initiative. 

Outlook Academy offers web-based learning environments that focus on strengthening existing interventions and developing new organizational interventions for historically underachieving students.  Outlook Academy also offers fact-to-face opportunities which exemplify authentic events that offer alternative academic and socioemotional data results.  School interventionists and leadership team members are targeted for the Year One Phase of Outlook Academy.

The Year One Phase of Outlook Academy consists of a 3-tiered content-focused cohort model that aligns activities to each cooperating site’s School Performance Plan (SPP).  This is followed by subgroup intervention support and coaching.  Outlook Academy also offers opportunities for “collaborative intervention activities” to participating schools and families.  

Outlook Academy uses the following “levers for school intervention and transformation:”

• Family Capacity Building

• Project-based Learning

• Portfolio Development as a Tool for Achievement

• Equity Measurements in Education

• Protocols for “The Work”

• M.A.K.E. Learning System for Intervention Management

Outlook Academy is a function of The OUISN Equity Center’s programming and services.  The State of Nevada’s districts and schools are full of families and professionals ready and eager to build educational capacity state-wide.
