ACCELERATED PROGRAM GROUPS

Concept of self-contained groups for academic subjects

ACCELERATED PROGRAM ALP Teacher Feedback

“The concept of self-contained groups for all academic subjects is advantageous. It really allows for

teamwork among staff working with the ALP students. It benefits both students and teachers; teachers instruct the same students, unlike all other high school classes, and it

allows for more possibility to have cross-curricular activities. Finally, looping, where the same teacher teaches a group of students for an entire cycle, creates an environment where

the sense of continuity is much stronger.”
