Our Process
We've developed a framework for achievement.
We've crafted a four-step framework to guide our students to success. While each student is unique and requires a custom plan for success in the classroom, we use an Educational Success Framework to tailor your student's learning plan.
The North Star Academics Framework
Background
We start by understanding your child's educational needs and aspirations, delving into their learning history, academic objectives, and key developmental milestones. A comprehensive assessment identifies areas needing support, allowing us to craft a personalized, strategic, and goal-oriented educational plan.
Plan
Our Educational Therapists, in collaboration with the student's family, school team, North Star Executive Functioning Coaches, and Academic Managers, will create a detailed Academic Success Plan tailored to support both short-term achievements and long-term educational goals.
Accommodations
Our team crafts a comprehensive Academic Accommodations Report to pinpoint the essential accommodations needed for your student. Following this, our team will establish pivotal milestone goals and outline a clear matriculation plan to support your student's successful progression toward graduation.
Academic Outcomes
Our evaluation of academic outcomes is streamlined and precise, involving weekly progress checks, standardized assessments, and tracking individual learning goals. Collaborating with each student's educational team, we adapt our strategies and interventions based on ongoing data analysis, ensuring a targeted and flexible approach to exceed academic objectives.
Our number one mission is to nurture belonging and student care.
At North Star Academics, inspired by Dr. Bettina Love's philosophy, we create educational environments celebrating every student's identity. We go beyond inclusion by dismantling inequitable structures and using data-driven strategies to build truly inclusive educational journeys.
Neurodivergent students, especially students of color, face unique social and relational challenges in a highly homogenized environment. Comprehensive, tailored support can significantly reduce their anxiety and improve academic performance. However, accessing these supports is often difficult due to stigma and lack of knowledge.
We prioritize a coordinated support system that addresses the holistic needs of our students. We aim to ensure every student feels connected, respected, and motivated, paving the way for academic and personal success.
