Month 3: Guiding Questions

  • How will the ADT promote the academy and recruit learners from feeder-pattern schools and throughout the community?

  • How will the academy use open, choice-based enrollment to facilitate inclusion, diversity, equity, and access by accepting learners through voice and choice rather than academic or disciplinary records?

  • What is the recruitment messaging on your website, brochure, and recruitment flyers?

  • How will the ADT solicit feedback from the school community about the advantages of an academy?

  • How do business and community partners engage in the recruitment process?

  • How does the academy foster a personalized learning environment to promote leaner interests, abilities, and aspirations?
