Having students or a class that is clearly above grade-level can be challenging. After students finish their core work, it is tempting to reward them with more work like more difficult questions or accelerating through the curriculum - which just creates more preparation! As an alternative, I will present some projects, resources, and activities that enrich the curriculum that the whole class benefits from,
regardless of their understanding of the content. I will explore how enrichment does not have to mean harder work, but instead in can be more in depth and focused studies of curriculum content. It leads to happy students, happier teachers, and most importantly answers that parent question of “My child was bored in math class last year - how will you challenge him/her this year?” You will leave this session with concrete junior high examples of curriculum enrichment that you can use and/or implement tomorrow.
