Enrichment Class program

In your school, there might already be considerable attention given to students with high cognitive abilities. Many of these children find sufficient challenge through the compacting and enrichment activities already available. However, some gifted students still feel unfulfilled and seek further enrichment opportunities. This is where the idea of an enrichment class comes in. Perhaps your school already has such a program, but it may not always run smoothly.

As a teacher, you start with great enthusiasm but soon encounter hurdles. The rest of the teaching team might not be enthusiastic about starting an enrichment program, or it may not receive the attention it deserves from colleagues. Frequently, classes get canceled due to conflicting schedules or lack of support. Additionally, you may lack the necessary knowledge about cognitive giftedness and struggle to generate new ideas over time. Repetition of the same projects becomes challenging, and you might wonder which ideas require less preparation. Sometimes, materials purchased turn out to be unsuitable, and budget constraints add to the challenge. Moreover, it can be unclear which students should participate, leading to further complications, especially when dealing with demanding parents.This cycle can drain the enthusiasm of even the most dedicated teachers, eventually leading to the abandonment of the program.

If your school is considering or already has plans for an enrichment class and requires assistance, we can help you establish a successful enrichment program. With our guidance, teachers can maintain their enthusiasm and even find renewed energy. Witnessing the joy on the faces of gifted students and receiving praise from satisfied parents can be incredibly rewarding. Our program ensures that you're equipped to create and sustain a robust enrichment class, setting a strong foundation for future years. By following our approach, you'll avoid investing in inappropriate materials and navigate potential challenges more effectively.

Below, we propose a procedure for integrating an enrichment program at your school. This can naturally be adjusted based on the responses provided during the initial meeting. Therefore, we customize each proposal accordingly.

Following the initial meeting, the administration will assemble a task force comprising the school's management, members of the support team, and the teacher(s) responsible for guiding the enrichment class(es). In the proposal outlined below, 6 meetings are scheduled, each lasting approximately 2 hours. The task force will provide feedback to the teaching team, perhaps presenting a summary at a team meeting after each session.

Approximately six months after implementing the enrichment class, an additional meeting can be scheduled to evaluate the program. In this meeting, the issues that have arisen during the initial phase will be discussed.

We are confident that the guidance program outlined above offers something valuable. Please contact us for a customized quote tailored to your school's needs.
