Our Approach

The primary strengths of the TDS turnaround model are its strong research base, its experience with schools serving high concentrations of students placed at risk, its ability to influence the culture of an organization through intensive support, and customized professional learning that builds capacity.

The use of research based predictive indicators helps teacher teams to identify and intervene with students as soon as they begin to demonstrate any off track indicator for on-time promotion and graduation. School teams design systems that disaggregate and analyze data to identify subsets of students who are demonstrating off track indicators. Teams engage in root cause analysis then prototype and test solutions that improve outcomes for all students.
