The purpose of this handbook is to provide a resource to parents and staff for use in understanding the corporation’s procedures and program offerings for high ability students.  \nCORPORATION OVERVIEW  \nMission Statement  \nThe mission of the Rensselaer Central Schools Corporation is to provide an appropriate educational program and learning environment which will effectively meet the educational needs of its students and citizens and help its students accomplish educational goals which are significant, durable and transferable.  \nDefinition of a High Ability Student  \nAccording to Indiana Code 20-36-1-3, a high ability student means a student who:  \n(1) performs at or shows the potential for performing at an outstanding level of accomplishment in at least one (1) domain when compared with other students of the same age, experience, or environment; and  \n(2) is characterized by exceptional gifts, talents, motivation, or interests.  \nHigh ability students are those whose academic needs may not be met adequately in the general education classroom setting and may benefit from specifically designed programs and services that may challenge, accelerate, and enrich the learning of current grade level curriculum.  \nDISTRICT GOALS FOR THE HIGH ABILITY PROGRAM  \nDistrict Goals: Students  \nThe goals for students in the high ability program offered by RCSC are as follows– Students will:  \n1. master basic skills while partaking in differentiated curricula and/or instruction to accelerate and/or enrich their knowledge in specific academic areas,  \n2. think critically and creatively in complex and abstract situations,  \n3. develop advanced study skills through the application of independence, selfdirection and self-evaluation,  \n4. analyze, evaluate and apply research to develop high quality original products,  \n5. increase their understanding and respect for individuals with varying ability levels through the development of communication skills and collaborative interactions with diverse people, and  \n6. develop an awareness and understanding of their own unique social-emotional needs  \nDistrict Goals: Curriculum and Instruction  \nAt the elementary level (K-5), students identified as high ability in either language arts, math or both may be placed in a classroom made up of a cluster of high ability students as well as students who are not identified as high ability. In this mixed ability class, students receive differentiated instruction throughout the school day, enrichment during grade level growth time and opportunities to participate in after-school enrichment clubs and academic teams.  \nAt the middle school level (6-8), students can be identified as high ability in either language arts, math or both. Students may be placed in Advanced/Honors Language Art, Reading and/or Math courses. In eighth grade, students can be enrolled in Algebra I for high school credit. In addition, eighth graders can also take advanced offerings for high school credit, such as Biology I or Introduction to Agriculture. Academic-enrichment opportunities are available for in most academic areas as well as the arts.  \nAt the high school level (9-12), students may enroll in courses that are appropriate for their abilities. Rensselaler Central High School offers a variety of Advanced Placementor Honors level courses, both of which are on a weighted grading scale. Students maybe allowed opportunities to take coursework for dual enrollment and credits with those colleges or universities with which RCSC has agreements. Enrollment in such courses may be through self-selection or by teacher recommenda","cbCaiaU3akHL0pPm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaU3akHL0pPm","pdf",331491,"English","# Purpose of Handbook\n# Corporation Overview\n## Mission Statement\n## Definition of a High Ability Student\n# District Goals for the High Ability Program\n## District Goals: Students\n## District Goals: Curriculum and Instruction\n## District Goals: Counseling and Guidance\n## District Goals: Professional Development","[{\"question\":\"What is the REACH Program and what does the handbook cover?\",\"answer\":\"The REACH Program is the high-ability academic programming provided by Rensselaer Central Schools Corporation.
