Remediation, Maintenance, and Enrichment Period Helps Students Achieve Success
We offer a Success period at the beginning of each day. Our periods are tiered into three levels for both math and ELA. We have remediation, maintenance, and enrichment. Our enrichment period is project and community-based learning with the current math and ELA standards wrapped into the projects. Students are selected for one of the tiers based on current benchmark assessment data. Students with double 100% participate in the enrichment.
Issues this Best Practice Addresses:
We created our Success as part of the 8STEP process but also in response to our growth data. We needed to address high growth/low growth from all students.
Major Challenges to Implementation:
Organization of the data and set up in the beginning stages was time consuming. Allowing enrichment project choice for students took a great amount of organization.
Benefits Derived from Implementing this Best Practice:
All students are having their needs on standards met. There is re-teaching, maintaining, and enriching. The enrichment component allows for real application of the standards.
Evidence Illustrating Success:
We have seen engagement and leadership in the enrichment groups. The remediation groups have more individual support for their needs. We are seeing increased achievement in class and on assessments.
