Middle School REACH/Gifted Services curriculum
|
REACH in the Middle School is humanities for 6th, 7th and 8th graders. Students attend humanities class instead of social studies. The humanities classes cover the Arizona state social studies standards through literature, art, and music. The 6th grade curriculum is concerned with world history from the beginning of civilization through the Age of Enlightenment. The seventh grade curriculum deals with American History from the Civil War through the end of the Great Depression. The eighth grade curriculum starts where the 7th grade leaves off with World War II and continues through the present. Eighth grade also includes a unit on civics and government. (For individual details on each grade level, see the grade level web page.)
Testing for the gifted program is done once each year at AMS. Students are tested using the Cognitive Abilities Test and the Naglieri Nonverbal Abilities Test (NNAT)with many students. Testing will be in February or early March. In order for a child to be tested, a permission to test form has to be filed out and on file with the REACH department. Permission to test forms are available on the internet (see links page) or from the REACH teacher. Parents or teachers can refer a child to be tested. If you have any questions, please let me know. |
