Outlook Academy

“The Living School Performance Plan”

Outlook Academy is an extension of support for cooperating schools identified as needing Targeted Support (TSI) and Improvement or Assisted Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI).  The focus is the analysis of the interventions that schools and districts use to address subgroup achievement disparities.  Using a 3-Tiered School Performance Plan (SPP) system of support Outlook Academy is a deeper understanding of school-level interventions.  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 that offer alternative academic and socioemotional data results.  School interventionists, administrators, and leadership team members are targeted for the Outlook Academy.

Outlook Academy also targets “Students and Families” outside of the school environment.  This 3-Tiered programming develops “Ambassadors for Accelerated Learning and Transformation Agents” for strengthening the “Home-to-School” relationship.  The objective is within the home and community project-based activities that increase academic proficiency and emotional balance.  Students and Families become a functional part of the SPP.
