Enrichment/Concept Mastery

1. Enrichment/Concept Mastery

2. How this works: • Based on your CRT’s last year, you will be assigned to: • Concept Mastery (CRT Prep) during Enrichment time • Math Lab during your regular A/B class schedule • Concept Mastery means that you go to Math, English or Science for a full term during Concept Mastery/Enrichment time. • If you show progress, you may be able to test out at the end of the term and at that time join an enrichment class.

3. Concept Mastery Classes • Monday is Math Concept Mastery Class. • Tuesday is English Concept Mastery Class. • Wednesday is Science Concept Mastery Class. • Your schedule will already show which Concept Mastery classes you need to take.

4. Enrichment Classes • You will be able to choose enrichment classes on days you are not assigned to take Concept Mastery classes. • Every teacher who is not teaching a Concept Mastery class will be teaching an Enrichment class.

5. This Thursday is sign-up day! • Sign up means that you will go to your selected Enrichment choices and get your student card stamped by that teacher. • Since your first choice might be full, please select three enrichment classes you would like to take for each available day. • The next slides show your Enrichment choices.
