LEAP
2007 - 2008 The
Learners with Exceptional Abilities Program (Programa de Estudiantes con Habilidades Excepcionales) adheres to the
following definition developed by the United States
Office of Education:
“Children and youth with outstanding talent who perform or show the potential for performing remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience or environment.” (U.S. Dept. of Education, 1993)The goals of the program are to develop human potential more fully by providing learning experiences for children who demonstrate a high performance capability in academic and/or whole talent areas, and to stimulate and promote the abilities and talents of children by providing enrichment opportunities.The mission of the Vineland Public Schools is based upon the conviction that all students can learn. This is based upon their exposure to curriculum and instruction that addresses the New Jesey Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJCCCS) at all grade levels. We recognize that learning is the result of a strong partnership of parents, teachers and the community, as students are challenged to become active participants in the quest for excellence. Our goal is to ensure a safe, creative, stimulating and caring environment which promotes self-esteem, sound character, responsibility and respect for diversity. This will enable students to become knowledgeable, skillful, life-long learners who are contributing citizens in our changing society. We expect the best from our students and will give no less of ourselves. |
