“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.”
The 3rd grade nurturing program consists of weekly A.I.G. push-in lessons to every 3rd grade classroom. Activities and units are designed to explore talent and nurture potential in all students. Student work samples will be collected during the nurturing lessons and added to individual folders. The collection of standard work samples across the grade level is to ensure that:
every 3rd grader has an equal opportunity to complete high quality, open-ended work samples that demonstrate advanced thought.
every 3rd grader has equal exposure to modeling, guided support and scaffolding from the A.I.G. teacher.
