Elementary Programs:
First-Fifth Grade PACE (Program for Accelerated and Clustered Education)
Highly Capable programs are offered at each of our 16 elementary schools. In a cluster group model, Highly Capable students are placed together in grade level general education classrooms. Above grade level core curricula is delivered to this group as needed by a trained teacher. In walk to read/walk to math models, highly capable students shown to need above grade level instruction in core content areas walk to classrooms in the school for this instruction at their assessed level of need.
Fourth and Fifth Grade STEP (Student Teacher Enrichment Program)
The Auburn School District has a unique program that serves exceptionally intelligent, intellectually gifted 4th and 5th grade students whose needs may not be easily met in the general classroom. Since the 1970s, the STEP (Student Teacher Enrichment Program) has provided specific instruction to these academically talented students. STEP is a self-contained program at Terminal Park Elementary and Willow Crest Elementary.
