[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There should still be an ELC class.  If you feel your DC is missing out on enrichment talk with your teach and the Reading Specialist.  You can also bring in the Gifted Education Liaison.

Amplify is an on-level curriculum and was not yet evaluated for use with gifted students. It does include differentiation options for advance learners.  If the novel studies are made up of advance reads, with vocabulary, analysis, and associated writing, it could be enough.[/quote]

See to me the smart thing would have been to do is put the ELC kids in one class but many schools the leadership doesn't want to do that. So then the kids are not getting the enriched literacy curriculum as a full curriculum. It's often just like a little pull-out group and they're getting maybe 20 or 30 minutes if they're lucky[/quote]

Ask the school leadership why the don't want to or didn't create a ELC class.  Especially now with the on-level curriculum being more challenging.[/quote]

I am guessing it's because the CES kids are already in their own classroom and then if they put the enriched literacy kids in their own classroom you end up with classrooms where there only a few on grade level  kids. [/quote]
