Enhancing Secondary/Transition Outcomes Using Check & Connect with the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction

Description

The University of Kansas developed the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI), which teachers use to help students set goals, choose, plan, and track progress. ICI developed the Check & Connect (C&C) intervention model to promote students' engagement with school, reduce dropout, and increase school completion. This project combines, implements, and evaluates a large-scale C&C + SDLMI intervention.

C&C staff support the project by participating in team management meetings to review progress on specific tasks and activities. They recruit teachers and schools that already use C&C in Georgia, then randomly assign schools to continue with C&C only (the business-as-usual condition) or to the new C&C + SDLMI intervention. C&C staff further support the project through training, data collection and analysis, and dissemination.
