Diagnostic and Learning Model

Mission Zero Dropout uses a practical model: assess foundations, place students by need, teach with structured worksheets, and review monthly.

Diagnostic Screening

Baseline checks that reveal where each learner actually is.

Basic Literacy Screening

  • Letter and sound recognition
  • Word reading fluency
  • Sentence reading and comprehension
  • Confidence in classroom expression

Basic Numeracy Screening

  • Number sense and number recognition
  • Basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
  • Place value and simple problem solving
  • Application to real classroom tasks

Model Flow

A monthly loop from baseline test to classroom adjustment.

01

Assess

Learners are screened using basic literacy and numeracy checks so support starts from actual level, not age or grade alone.

02

Place

Students are grouped by learning needs and teachers set realistic monthly targets for each level.

03

Teach

Teachers use monthly worksheets and activity plans designed for foundational reinforcement and confidence building.

04

Review

Teacher reflection forms, 1:1 mentoring, and center reviews are used to adjust support each month.

Worksheet Model

Structured teaching materials for mixed-grade classrooms.

  • Monthly worksheet packets are created for mixed-grade classroom realities.
  • Worksheets are distributed to centers in advance for better lesson planning.
  • Completed worksheets are reviewed to identify patterns in mistakes and progress.
  • Teachers adapt weekly teaching plans based on worksheet evidence and student participation.
