Every IB school strives for continuous improvement — raising exam results, supporting student wellbeing, and ensuring every teacher has the tools to succeed. But success doesn’t come from working harder; it comes from working smarter. That’s why more schools are now embedding RevisionDojo into their long-term academic success strategies.
By integrating RevisionDojo for Schools into your plan, you create a system that enhances learning, supports data-driven teaching, and aligns perfectly with the International Baccalaureate’s mission to develop reflective, balanced, and independent learners.
The Purpose of an Academic Success Plan
An academic success plan (ASP) acts as a roadmap for school improvement. It outlines:
- Student performance targets — measurable goals for progress.
- Instructional strategies — how teachers will achieve those goals.
- Resource allocation — which tools and systems will support implementation.
- Evaluation methods — how success will be monitored and sustained.
Incorporating RevisionDojo into this framework helps schools connect these components. It provides measurable data, consistent pedagogy support, and scalable tools for reflection and assessment.
Why RevisionDojo Belongs in Every IB School’s ASP
1. Alignment with IB Pedagogy
RevisionDojo is built on IB philosophy — inquiry, reflection, and learner agency. Its features reinforce the Approaches to Learning (ATL) framework by developing self-management, research, and thinking skills through structured, ongoing practice.
2. Data-Driven Decision-Making
Schools thrive when data informs action. RevisionDojo’s analytics allow leaders to track progress across subjects, identify trends, and allocate resources effectively. This eliminates guesswork and supports evidence-based improvement.
3. Consistency Across Departments
From English to Physics, every IB subject demands rigor. RevisionDojo ensures all teachers apply consistent revision and assessment standards, creating coherence across the curriculum — a key factor in accreditation and evaluation.
4. Teacher Support and Professional Growth
An effective academic plan must also consider teacher wellbeing. RevisionDojo saves time by automating grading, standardizing feedback, and simplifying data reporting. Teachers can focus on meaningful instruction rather than administrative tasks.
5. Student Empowerment and Reflection
Students become more autonomous when they can visualize their progress. RevisionDojo’s reflection prompts and adaptive learning tools encourage ownership, helping learners become proactive, confident participants in their own academic journey.
Quick Start Checklist: Adding RevisionDojo to Your ASP

Embedding RevisionDojo into School Culture
An academic plan is only effective if it shapes daily habits. To make RevisionDojo a true part of your school’s culture:
- Train all staff consistently: Conduct initial PD sessions to ensure everyone understands how to use analytics and adaptive tools.

- Link to core IB objectives: Reinforce how every use of RevisionDojo contributes to ATL skills and learner profile attributes.
Measuring the Impact on School Improvement
RevisionDojo provides tangible metrics for evaluating your ASP’s effectiveness:
- Performance Growth: Track changes in average scores and exam readiness.
- Engagement Rates: Measure how often students interact with revision tasks.
- Feedback Quality: Analyze how teachers use data to personalize guidance.
- Reflection Frequency: Monitor how regularly students engage with reflection prompts.
These data points make annual review processes more transparent and evidence-based, giving leadership confidence in the results.
Case Example: How a School Could Implement
Scenario: A mid-sized IB school aims to raise average subject scores by 10% within two years.
Implementation Plan:
- Introduce RevisionDojo school-wide at the start of the academic year.
- Provide teacher training focused on analytics interpretation.
- Use progress data to identify struggling cohorts.
- Run targeted reflection workshops with students.
- Review school-wide analytics quarterly to monitor improvement.
Result: After one year, the school sees measurable gains in predicted grades, stronger IA performance, and higher student engagement with feedback.
