Enrichment Groups
Enrichment Groups
Enrichment opportunities are provided at WESA for students in grades K-2. When students are scoring/ placing above average in reading, writing, or math, I look to see what group would benefit the child and the child's education. I do this so that I can provide the students with additional opportunities to further challenge and expand their learning! Students are part of the groups by closely looking at their data in English language arts (ELA), math, and through observations in the general ed. classroom. Groups change quarterly, allowing for additional students to join!

Tier II (Talent Pool)
Tier II (Talent Pool)
Tier II (Talent Pool) is the identification of students who score between 90-94% percentile on reading and math assessments. In order to qualify for Tier II a student must show a score between 90-94% percentile in their CoGAT (2ndgrade), STAR assessment in reading or math (2nd- 5th grade), and/or the Colorado Measure of Academic Success, better know as CMAS (3rd- 5th grade). Within the Tier II groups, it is my job to provide differentiated learning "pathways" for the students. I provide educational chances at the appropriate level of readiness and challenge. Within the groups, I provide opportunities for student choice within the classroom setting. I work to provide depth & complexity, as well as higher-level thinking of their reading and math content to encourage growth. Additionally, I model and teach social-emotional skills students need to be successful.

Gifted and Talented students who qualify in the Tier III category are the only students who have an ALP. The ALP is a CDE state requirement and includes:
