JET Schoolwide Enrichment Programming

The JET Schoolwide Enrichment program provides varied enrichment opportunities for all students through special presentations, in-class enrichment experiences, or small group interest based projects and school-sponsored competitions.

Enrichment opportunities for all students will be provided as agreed upon by the classroom teacher and the gifted and talented teacher and may be in the form of: 

• Special topics or enrichment seminars will be arranged by the gifted and talented teacher within classrooms

• School-sponsored opportunities for all students to participate in competitions, clubs and events.

• Enrichment experiences within the classroom will be offered to provide thinking skills and creativity instruction within the grade level curriculum and in other related disciplines .

• In-depth Independent Investigations where the gifted and talented teacher may work to support the classroom teacher in the facilitation of in-depth investigations for students working independently, with small groups or as a whole class.

• JET instructors may act as facilitator for in-class enrichment experiences for students  beyond the regular classroom offerings, regardless of identification status.  Such activities might include independent research or activities that foster critical thinking.  In addition the JET teacher may provide whole class enrichment lessons in consultation with the classroom teacher.
