Illustration of the lifecycle of an Advanced Placement Incentive Program™

The Advanced Placement Incentive Program™ consists of three stages:

  • The Assessment stage takes the program from concept to plan. This phase results in the donor/district alignment, district assessment, and program plan.
  • The Setup stage develops the specifics of the program to be implemented. This phase results in the agreement to proceed, program definition, and signed contracts.
  • The Management stage can be broken into two primary steps:
    • Implementation — Sets the incentive program into action. This step results in the proper support of district and school administration, as well as the alignment of resources towardprogram goals.
    • Ongoing Management — Delivers ongoing support to the students, teachers, principals and schools. At periodic intervals, program results are prepared and reported to the districts and donors.
