Q and A from an MTDA Site Facilitator 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?
