The ELA Academic Enrichment class is designed to help students become independent, self-confident, and effective learners by incorporating strategies that strengthen students’ skill level. The course is designed for students who need strategic assistance in mastering standards as defined by Common Core and Atlas Rubicon. Students will be provided support in both grade level and below grade level standards. The curriculum is based on the students MAP and other formal/ informal testing data. Lecture, text, visual aids, independent reflection, group discussions, and technology will be utilized to improve skills. The smaller class size will allow for more in-depth individualized programming. Successful completion of this course will prepare students to become more successful in their other English Language Arts class.
