The document compares a traditional school model to a student-response school model across several criteria on a scale of minor to major change. A traditional school provides reactive student support and focuses on overall school performance, while a student-response school provides proactive student support and focuses on individual performance. Additionally, a traditional school uses informal collaboration and summative assessments, whereas a student-response school uses formal collaboration focused on learning and ongoing formative assessments to drive instruction.
