How Our Digital Program Works
Students enroll
through the local district
and NOT directly with
MTDA
Local schools retain large amount of
local control
All teachers are
employed through
public school districts and not directly from MTDA
Teachers subject to
local bargaining
unit and local expectations

Q and A from an MTDA Site Facilitator 8 mins. (recorded by Jason/edited by Ryan using Video
Pad) Tell us about MTDA Connect at your high school. What inspired your school to be the first to get involved? What is the most prevalent benefit? What should we change? How is the academic area coach model working? How has online credit recovery changed your school’s
approach to CR? Do you see the program growing in the future? Do you have plans for tracking students who take part?

Misuse of MTDA Original/True CR Model was needed
Coach + Local Facilitation + MTDA Staff team is critical
Communication needed for student success Locking Mastery Tests after 2 tries Unit and Semester Post-tests locked by
coaches Estimating License Needs is Challenging Integration with SIS is needed and critical
