Project Overview

The AIS IDU Flowchart was a job aid created to help Atlanta International School (AIS) meet accreditation standards by providing teachers with a clear process for planning, teaching, and evaluating interdisciplinary units (IDUs). Designed using the ADDIE model, it addressed training and resource gaps identified through teacher feedback.

I created the flowchart as a digital, accessible hyperlinked PDF that was easy to understand and could be saved and revisited by teachers as needed. It supplemented professional training by providing a clear and organization-specific process for conducting IDUs.

Problem

AIS faced challenges in ensuring consistent and efficient implementation of IDUs, including:

• Limited Training: Teachers often relied on trial-and-error without a standardized process.

• Disorganized Resources: Essential documentation was scattered and lacked guidance.

• Unclear Procedures: Teachers were unsure of required steps, tasks, and communication protocols.

These issues created inefficiencies that risked meeting accreditation standards.

Solution

The AIS IDU Flowchart resolved these challenges by:

• Providing a Clear Process: Outlined step-by-step guidance for planning, teaching, and evaluating IDUs.

• Consolidating Resources: Centralized tasks, templates, and documentation in one guide.

• Clarifying Communication: Defined roles and contact points for approvals and evaluations.

• Enhancing Accessibility: Delivered as a hyperlinked, digital PDF for easy navigation and usability.

This flowchart ensured AIS had a standardized and effective approach to IDU implementation, supporting its accreditation goals.
