Enrichment

Welcome to the CPS Enrichment page for E2!

Philosophy

Clinton Public School provides enrichment for kindergarten through eighth grades. Through the partnership and cooperation between students, teachers, and parents, students may participate in a wide range of activities beyond the academic arena. Children may be involved with the arts, technology, nature, and hands-on explorations through their own initiatives or their teacher's recommendations. In addition, the enrichment coordinator may work with a group of children on a topic suggested by a classroom teacher and also act as a consultant/resource to the classroom teachers.

The enrichment program creates a learning environment that provides challenging, creative, project oriented instruction to our student population. It places a premium on the development of higher order thinking skills and the authentic application of these skills in creative and productive situations. This model utilizes three types of enrichment activities: Type 1: general exploratory activities, Type 2: group learning activities, and Type 3: students’ self-selected, first-hand investigations into real problems. Through this three-fold approach, all students have the opportunity to benefit from enrichment.
