The Enrichment Program

The Enrichment Program was created to provide opportunities and resources for the development and application of creative and critical thinking behaviors. The curriculum is based on CCCS’s core curriculum which includes Pennsylvania State Common Core Standards and Renzulli’s Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM).

The goals of the model are to develop the talents in all children using students’ strengths and interests, to create a broad range of advanced enrichment experiences and to provide lots of follow-up activities. Three interrelated types of enrichment focus on the application, rather than assimilation of knowledge, and the ways in which students products, and services can be brought to bear on authentic audiences. A wide variety of enrichment resources such as theme-based research labs, classroom libraries, science labs, math software, manipulatives, laptop computers, and Nooks.
