Enrichment Clusters are a major component of student enrichment and talent development. It is a multi-age setting mixing elementary students who do not normally work together but are linked by a common interest. Tool Time Cluster is one sample of a cluster offering. The students in this cluster decided to make wooden cars, so they researched and designed their own cars. Their products were showcased at the PTA hosted Enrichment Cluster Showcase.
Descriptive information is available.
The District Leadership Team has the power to create policy. The team consists of teachers, building leaders, and administrators. The Creative Learning Center is the name of the district's talent development and enrichment component. There is no formal identification policy as most classrooms are heterogeneously grouped, but teachers have district guidelines and may recognize high ability students through their daily work, portfolios, standardized test scores, and teacher checklists. The Total Talent Portfolio is implemented in order to gather and record information about students' abilities, interests, and learning styles.
