Enrichment Support transformed in several ways this year:

Now, in addition to a thriving pull-out program,

there is greater emphasis on Enrichment Support

within the general education classroom.

This push-in initiative enables increased collaboration

between enrichment support teachers, coaches, and general education classroom teachers.

A more flexible schedule for the Enrichment Support teachers

allows for more lesson development, resource gathering, school-wide activity planning, and co-teaching.

Increased use of technology,
with an emphasis on iReady and Google Apps, such as

Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Forms, WeVideo, and Blogger,

inspires more creativity, engagement, and motivation in our students.

Friday field trips, instead of Day 5 field trips,

ensure GIEP students aren't missing the same special class repeatedly.

Pull-out during the academic support time, instead of during core academic subjects,

ensures that students are not missing core content instruction.

Holding GIEP meetings for 5th graders during the first weeks of school

ensures that the GIEP accurately reflects how each student's education will be individualized.

While some things have changed,

some things have not:

Mrs. Sorce teaches at Eisenhower and Ben Franklin.

Mrs. Woods teaches at Horace Mann and East Pike.

Mrs. Sorce teaches Enrichment Support and 4th Grade math to accelerated students, while Mrs. Woods teaches Enrichment Support.

An emphasis on robotics, coding,

researching, writing, and reading in individual Lexile Ranges

continues to be a hallmark of the Enrichment Support pull-out program.

Enrichment Support in each elementary school building is unique.
