The On Beyond Program, Gifted and Talented at MSES
The goal of the On Beyond Program at Manitou Elementary is to differentiate meaningful challenge activities for all learners in the regular classroom, and to provide identified gifted students with opportunities for academic, meta-cognitive, and creative extensions to maximize learning potential.
Welcome to the 2019-2020 School Year!
One of the core values here at Manitou Springs Elementary is our desire to grow the WHOLE CHILD. From nurturing staff and classroom settings, to the Core Knowledge Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science curricula, to hands on learning experiences and field trips, authentic learning continues to strengthen and deepening content for all students each and every day.
Extension and enrichment or teacher collaboration will take place at every grade level. Sometimes this looks like a whole-group lesson I go into the classroom to share. Other times this is a consistent pull-out where I work with a specific group of students to take learning to the next level and apply it to authentic activities. By partnering with teachers, I will continue supporting regular curriculum to help make learning more vivid and meaningful. Together, we will help your child reach new skill levels and build personal interest to hold themselves to more productive standards!
