The 7-8 ELP Collaborative model allows the ELP teachers to work hand in hand with classroom teachers to provide an enriching, challenging learning environment for high ability students. Each year brings different learning needs and many new activities. Rather than a set pull out schedule or curriculum, students rotate in and out of the ELP classroom throughout the year based on classroom performance and learning goals. ELP teachers also spend time in the regular classroom, team teaching with or assisting the regular classroom teacher in differentiated activities. All ELP students begin the year by establishing academic and social goals for the year.
ELP applications are available at the AMS Open House on Friday, August 13th and Monday, August 16th, 2010, Back To School Night on Tuesday, August 31, 2010, and in the Student Services Office, or the ELP Room. Students already participating in the program do NOT need to reapply. New students or students that have NOT participated in the program are welcome to fill out an application.
We will update the blog regularly with what is happening in ELP. Check back often!
