Strategies    

● OTG: Designate and/or optimize a school team focused on monitoring the FGI projection, cohort, and student-level data to design plans for testing, credit recovery, and credit accrual.
● OTG: Identify and develop a monitoring protocol for teachers, teams, and/or departments that have a disproportionate number of F's, especially for courses that are barriers to on-time graduation.
● OTG: Increase the collective awareness and responsibility of ALL staff in supporting school-wide efforts to keep students enrolled, on grade-level with their cohort, and earning a diploma (i.e., PD around mindset, cultivating belonging, positive interactions with students, increased flexibility with grading).
