Theory of Action

Each VASD school developed a "theory of action" that allows schools to articulate a clear plan for teaching and learning that is in service of all students. It also engages schools in regular monitoring of student progress.

This approach is particularly useful to address achievement gaps for groups that have been historically marginalized. Theories of Action include strategies for all students as well as targeted strategies for students in focus groups.

This way of working ensures a coherent way of working to specifically address disparities in student outcomes through measurable and actionable goals.
