A scope and sequence of assessments aligned to the mastery framework and state standards; including performance based assessments; these include access for students with disabilities (SWD) and English Language Learners (ELLs).
A digital pathway in which each student can access of the resources and assessments in order to personalize their learning.
A data management system that enables adults to flexibly personalize curriculum and instruction, while aligned to the mastery framework.
A sequence of workplace learning experiences that align to the mastery framework; implemented through an apprenticeship infrastructure with industry and community partners.
A sequence of early college experiences that align to the mastery framework; implemented through college access programs that include family engagement and financial planning.
A teaching and instructional delivery model that supports the mastery framework and college and career experiences by redefining adult roles in ways that are responsive to personalized student learning.
A flexible staffing strategy that includes redefining leadership roles; and that generates a pipeline of culturally competent human capital, including adults with ELL and SWD expertise.
Rites of passage experiences, guidance and youth development supports that define school culture around college and career readiness benchmarks.
An operating system for nimble start-up that can sustain and support the management of the model with fidelity, within and across schools.

ESI MODEL SEEKS TO GRADUATE STUDENTS WITH THE SKILLS & DISPOSITIONS TO SUCCEED IN THE 21ST CENTURY ECONOMY
T-shaped people have two kinds of characteristics. The vertical stroke of the “T” is a depth of skill that allows them to contribute to the creative process. The horizontal stroke of the “T” is the disposition for collaboration across disciplines.
Tim Brown, CEO, IDEO
In college I believe I’m going to be able to succeed because some of my teachers have actually pushed me to college work standards, you know, 10-page essays with close due dates.
