How does School of One work?
Students at a school are given diagnostic tests and surveys to determine a student profile of academic needs and preferences called a Playlist
Students cluster into groups based on needs (e.g. 20 students work on Skill 24, 5 work on Skill 32, etc.)
A scheduling algorithm determines the modality of instruction for that skill group and the best lesson in that modality (e.g. virtual instruction with Destination Math)
Students take a Playlist Update to assess mastery, which changes the clusters for the next day

Our summer pilot
One middle school in Chinatown
80 6th grade students (open enrollment)
5 weeks of instruction (4 40-minute periods per day
4 teachers, 4 student teachers, and 2 HS interns
5th – 7th grade lesson bank of over 1,000 lessons
• The average student was exposed to 11 of the 15 skills on their playlist.
• Each row represents a student, and each column is a skill.
• The average student was exposed to 11 of the 15 skills on their playlist.
• Each row represents a student, and each column is a skill.
• The colored boxes indicate skills that were included on each student’s playlist.
