Every building project begins with a detailed plan. ADI's signature program, Solid Foundation®,
is a comprehensive blueprint for building strong school communities. Its web-based Planning Guide, with 26 agendas,
guides a School Community Council (SCC) through a three-year implementation
cycle to ensure that all students develop a “solid foundation” as:
- Self-directed learners,
- Avid and literate readers, and
- Responsible people who respect themselves and others.
Solid Foundation® provides a rich library of web-based resources and web-based
documentation and reporting, including progress reports to evaluate the program’s effectiveness
and guide its improvement.

Solid Foundation’s® agendas and resources lead a School Community Council (SCC) in implementing a
comprehensive model that includes every aspect of a strong school community.
With the support of the School Community Coach and under the guidance of the detailed agendas, the SCC uses the tools
and resources in Solid Foundation’s® Building Block framework (Shared Leadership, Goals and Roles, Communication,
Education, Connection, and Continuous Improvement) to implement evidencebased practices.
Solid Foundation’s® technology allows the SCC to enter data, generate reports, track progress, access a library of
abundant resources, and receive coaching and support all from one convenient internet location. Administrative
features provide for cost effective and efficient monitoring of implementation progress as well as a means for the
School Community Coach to easily communicate with the SCC through the web-based coaching system.
