Instructional Program
• Program is not remedial, but is an enrichment model that is both challenging and additive.
• Enrichment instruction challenges all students with high expectations similar to highly capable students.

• Content is not repeated in both languages; taught in one language only.
• Central administrators 2-3 hour overview
• Campus leadership team, Kindergarten and First grade teacher attend 3-day intensive study and planning for implementation
• Monthly teacher meeting for instructional planning and curriculum work
