Extended Learning Program
District ELP Program Mission
To identify students in need of advanced academic, social, and emotional support by providing authentic learning beyond the core curriculum.
District Extended Learning Philosophy
We believe..
- gifted and talented learners require differentiated academic experiences as well as opportunities to explore their passions and interests in order to develop their talents, promote self-direction and self-reflection and to encourage life-long learning.
- gifted and talented learners have specific social and emotional needs, which should be addressed through programming.
- providing a supportive environment, which allows and encourages gifted and talented learners to realize their potential, is a responsibility shared among school personnel, family, and community.
- gifted and talented learners need opportunities to collaborate and learn with their intellectual peers.
- that identification for ELP must be an ongoing and systematic process.
