WHY RAMA?
WHY RAMA?
We have a full time AIG teacher at Rama Road and this gives us the time to not only work with TD certified students, but also with students showing potential for high academic achievement. I like to think of myself as a "talent scout"! By exposing ALL students to teaching models and methods that foster critical and creative thinking, we can develop students' individual academic talents and serve more students in the AIG program!

While AIG certification doesn't begin until 2nd grade, we begin working with students in Kindergarten! We work closely with teachers, facilitators, and administrators to identify students that are working at or above grade level and who show potential for rigorous academic work. We also implement YET University whose goal is to provide exposure to critical thinkking skills to all students.
