K–3 Level II Enrichment

At Faithful Shepherd Catholic School, we use Treffinger’s Level of Service Model as our K-5 Enrichment Program service framework.  If you would like to learn more about this model, please click on this link: FSCS K-5 Enrichment Program.  

Level II enrichment is FLEXIBLE by its very nature.  It can take place within the classroom and/or outside of the classroom.  Student participation in level II enrichment may change throughout the year, week to week or unit to unit.  Level II enrichment may differentiate by readiness, by student interest or by critical or creative thinking strategy.  FLEXIBILITY is the nature of K-3 level II enrichment.
