The Key Questions for Readiness

TCP will engage with the district to answer the following questions for readiness. The overarching question is whether the district has the will and capacity to engage with TCP to robustly support students and implement all components of TCP.Subquestions that will be addressed through completion of this application follow below.

  • Does the district serve at least 50 students per grade level who are Black, Hispanic, Indigenous or Low-Income?
  • Are there champions in the district who embrace TCP as the right fit for equity work? Are there other stakeholders / allies in the district that will support TCP?
  • Has the district articulated how TCP supports its vision and plan for equity?
  • Is there a clear math progression leading to advanced math (AP Calc) that allows for flexibility?
  • What structures are in place to build upon for each of the TCP components?
  • Where does the district need further support?
  • Is there a financial commitment available to support full implementation (all components)?

In our experience, a strong start with a district can dramatically impact the future trajectory of our students. While TCP implementation is a process that happens over time, we work to set a strong foundation. In addition to gathering data on whether the district has the necessary resources and commitment, we also work with the district to determine which supports are necessary as we begin our partnership.
