Reteach+and+Enrich

The second model that intrigues me is "Reteach and Enrich".

From Mesquite: The system is called [|Reteach and Enrich] (R&E), and it happens every day, schoolwide, from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m. During this period, teachers give students who are struggling with a concept extra time and attention, and students who have mastered the basics receive instruction that takes their learning to the next level. The system is based on a shared curriculum map, with objectives defined for every week of the school year. At the end of each week, teachers assess students on those objectives. Depending on the results, they assign students to either a reteach or an enrich session the following week. There is no stigma attached to going to reteach; almost every student has been assigned to it at some point. Students see it simply as an opportunity to learn something better than they did the first time.

Here is how I see it: 1. Teachers collaborate and use the current state standards in our excel files to create curriculum calendars/maps. 2. Teacher teaches :) and uses formative assessments. 3. On Fridays the teachers assess students on those objectives. 4. Depending on the results, the teachers assign a reteach and enrich group. 5. Everyday the following week, the teacher teaches "reteach" for 30 min./day which the other students work on enrichment activities.
