Application Criteria
21st Century Learning Teams: Part III: Teamwork in Action

How does the team organize its work to stay focused on student achievement?

One of the foundational elements of the AIM Program is an intense focus on student GPA. Accordingly software tracking mechanisms have been established to provide accurate GPA data overviews while also providing addtional remediation strategies when necessary. ACT & SAT strategic practicums are employed in a similar manner.
Each student creates their personal goals that relate to his/her larger plan of work toward specific intended targets in school and after high school.

How does the team use best practice strategies to foster professional growth and student achievement?

The entire ASPT acts as a filter for empirical research
Students are responsible for their own learning. Teachers support student driven R &D.
