Green Local Schools
Advanced Learning
Green Local Schools is committed to the academic achievement of our advanced learners. Our goal is to offer engaging programming options that will motivate and empower students to continue to strive for excellence as life-long learners and members of the 21st century.
Programming options include a variety of learning experiences that are creatively designed to meet the individual and developmental needs of students in a learning environment that will facilitate growth and success.
Based on continued analysis of assessment data and review of the student needs in the district, Green Local Schools utilizes the advanced learning programming models listed below.
Grades K-5 Cluster Grouping
Advanced, as well as students identified as "gifted" in like areas (reading,math, sup
erior cognitive), are grouped together and placed in a mixed ability classroom. The classroom teacher will meet the specific needs/abilities of these students using differentiation strategies, social emotional supports, and curriculum compacting when appropriate. Teachers receive ongoing training, coaching, and support from Gifted Intervention Specialists.
