Therefore, intersession programs will continue to be carefully planned to make as important a contribution to students' overall development as anything that happens during the regular sessions. Teachers recommend students for intervention classes. Strategies parallel, but do not replicate those used during the regular sessions. Certified staff are used for remediation and tutoring. The enrichment classes are designed to further higher order thinking skills and are based on the interests of students.
Class size varies depending upon the topic.
Sessions are morning only, afternoon only, or all-day. Parents and community people are used as presenters in the enrichment program in addition to Butcher School teachers. An unanticipated outcome has been the participation of parents and other community members. Now into our 6th year of Intersessions, there have been over 400 parents and community members who have taught or supervised Intersession classes.
