So one of the things that we did ask for in terms of training and presentations that the the different curricular programs offered were within the task, it is access for anyone to enter.
1:02:47
So it can start in a low space where everyone would be able to see on grade level standards work, but then there are also different types of activities where students can go deeper and more accelerated on the same content.

The students who don't have promotion in doubt but attends some horizon.

What enrichment do you have in place for them?

In terms of the curriculum?
Rita C. Joseph

In terms of I'm coming to your school, I don't need to be here, but I'm here.
1:03:11
What do you have in place for me?
1:03:12
Are you training me for the next upcoming grade?
1:03:14
I'm a 8th grader.
1:03:15
Are you getting me ready for 9th grade?
1:03:17
What does that look like?
Danielle Domingo
1:03:18
So so I think as we said, the curriculum is very similar, but the tasks and opportunities for students to have high level accelerated book clubs, different levels of research.
1:03:30
But they're all really looking at the same content.
1:03:33
It's just the way that principles and teachers are organizing groups of students and offering the extensions that are available within the curriculum.
