Acceleration
Differentiation strategies implemented in our classrooms:
● Curriculum compacting
● Depth/Complexity
● Flexible grouping
● Higher level questioning
● Independent projects, acceleration through AP & Honors classes are also available.
● Tiered Instruction
● Using pre-assessments to inform instruction
Acceleration is determined in the following ways:
● Through parent, student, and counselor recommendations and expressed interest in advanced work
● If student is working above grade level in two or more academic subject areas
● If student can demonstrate proficiency on Pre and Post Assessments
