Full Description/Meeting Details:
The Acceleration initiative focuses on a strategy that strives to narrow achievement gaps by incorporating the frontloading of upcoming English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics core content and vocabulary 1-2 weeks prior to scheduled classroom delivery. Early exposure to instruction allows a select group to build and strengthen their background knowledge making the learning process easier when content is presented during core instruction so the accelerated students have a point of reference to build upon while gaining an understanding of:
The real-world relevance and purpose of the concept.
Critical vocabulary, including what the words look and sound like.
The basic skills needed to master the concept.
The new skills needed to master the concept.
The big picture of where instruction is going.
