  10. 6TH Grade versus 5th Grade Increase in use of inference and analytical skills—very challenging for some students who are still concrete thinkers. Assessments: All content and skills need to be applied (not just memorized) Look at the impact of one element on another (how does setting impact plot, how does the genre influence character, etc.)

  11. Academic Assistance Program Program Description: • There are a number of different academic programs within our building that we provide to support our struggling students. This year we will be implementing an Academic Assistance Program that will be offered during lunch. Once a student’s team identifies a child that is in need of more individualized support, he or she will receive an invitation to our program. This invitation will provide the student with an opportunity to receive remediation and small group tutoring in all academic areas. • Mrs. Hulse will notify the parent that their child will be beginning the Academic Assistance Program. • 1st Invitation – 1 week of program assistance • 2nd Invitation- 2 weeks of program assistance • 3rd Invitation – 3 weeks of program assistance • After 3 invitations have been given out a team meeting with the parents will be set up.
