One of the ways Vista Unified sets students up for success is by ensuring that every student has a pathway to develop learning skills that apply to any post-high school endeavor. 

On this episode, Dr. Doyle is joined by Dr. Eric Chagala, the district’s Director of Innovation, and Vista High School Principal Megan Ratliff, to discuss Vista Unified’s Personal Learning Plan, which has been dubbed My Plan. The group looks at the origins of My Plan and its emphasis on personalizing learning based on students' strengths, interests, and values.

Ms. Ratliff delves into the district’s focus for high school students to take “A-G” courses, which is considered the gold standard for all students, ensuring high-quality education regardless of post-high school goals. The episode also looks at other programs, including individual tutoring and summer programs, to ensure all students meet the A-G standards.

Finally, the episode explores the ways that parental involvement is crucial in students’ success, with regular communication and engagement a key.
