Elementary REACH Pull Out Program

The Pull Out model is designed for REACH students in 1st through 6th grades.

• A gifted education endorsed teacher pulls identified gifted students from their classrooms in order to work with gifted peers.
• First grade students receive one hour each week of gifted education instruction.
• Students in 2nd through 6th grades receive two hours each week of gifted education.
• Enriched curriculum in this model focuses on two areas: improving creative and critical thinking skills, and students learning more about themselves and others as gifted learners.
• Curriculum is specifically designed for gifted learners.

Gifted Learners have unique social emotional needs.

• The Pull Out models allows gifted specialists to focus on those needs.
• REACH teachers are advocates for their gifted learners.
• The REACH teacher can work directly with the cluster classroom teacher to meet the needs of the identified gifted learners in their classroom.

The Elementary REACH Department also offers a kindergarten enrichment program.

• This program starts at the beginning of Second Quarter.
• The goal of this program is to help identify kindergarten students that might benefit from gifted identification testing in the spring.
• The program also helps prepare students for testing.
