Supporting Educational Exploration and Knowledge
Beginning in third grade, the school district supplements classroom instruction with the introduction of the SEEK program for students who consistently and independently exceed grade level standards in literacy and/or math. SEEK (Supporting Education Exploration and Knowledge) provides pull-out in-depth, extended units of instruction.
Students who require SEEK consistently and independently:
- Demonstrate above grade level academic performance
- Demonstrate superior reasoning – can analyze, interpret, and evaluate new ideas and complex concepts
- Demonstrate initiative and perseverance during challenging problem solving tasks
Identification of SEEK students is based on the following criteria:
- Exceeds grade level standards on classroom assessments
