Supportive Facilities and Operations

a. Space allows for a variety of groupings for learning to incorporate individual learning, 1:1 meetings with educators, small group conversation, or a whole class learning format. (e.g., furniture can be moved/ is modular to encourage collaboration when appropriate.)

b. Acoustics or special accommodations (e.g., headphones, ability to sit in the hall, quiet rooms) allow for multiple small groups to engage in active discussion without noise levels disrupting learning.

c. Leaders plan startup and/or sustained funds for the model and appropriate staffing (e.g., tech devices and infrastructure, digital curriculum, professional development on mindsets and capacities, ongoing coaching) and secure both in advance.

d. Flexible transportation gives learners the option to have some supported work time after school hours.

e. Buildings are open for extended hours to support additional learning opportunities (e.g., office hours, after school, summer school) and are staffed with educators capable of supporting personalized learning (e.g. having the necessary mindsets, an understanding of the relevant learning platform/technology tool(s)).
