Mr. A's Enrichment/GT Blog

During the year, the students will be working on many higher-level problem-solving activities. In all three grade levels, my job is to both support and push students beyond the curriculum and standards being covered in the regular classroom. Each week, I will visit each classroom, and my hope is to inspire and engage every student in a variety of challenges and activities that will help to exercise their brains.

In addition, I will be working outside the classroom with small groups of students in the subjects of Math and reading/ELA. These groups of students will be selected through a multi-step process, and my task will be to provide an environment where those students with some common academic strengths can be pushed to apply their skills in new and exciting ways.

A New School Year!

Welcome back for the 2013-2014 school year! I have been busy this summer, and I spent several weeks doing professional development in order to improve the Enrichment/GT program here at Mapleshade. The year is off to a great start, and the Pull-Out program will be in full-swing in the coming weeks.

We have already begun to do work around what it means to work collaboratively, the meaning of creatviity, and the many different ways that we demonstrate intelligence. We will be moving into some math work, an introduction/exploration of the scientific method, as well as engineering/the Engineering Design Process. As October approaches, we will begin some activity-based lessons that deal with conflict resolution/problem-solving at each grade level. There is so much to look forward to this year! Please feel free to visit this website often for updates, photos, learning resources, and much more. I am looking forward to a great year in the world of Enrichment/GT.
