PRISM

PRISM is not graded as a subject, per se, but most aspects of the program are
frequently evaluated.  In order to become proficient in any of the various
PRISM programs, students must prepare, get involved, and stay on task.

PRISM is based on Renzulli's Schoolwide Enrichment Model. Students must be proficient in the regular grade-level curriculum before getting involved in PRISM. If students exhibit high task commitment, superior achievement, and high creativity, chances are they are excellent candidates for PRISM.

Students already identified as "exceptionally-able" through the WWP Exceptionality Initiative are offered the opportunity to become PRISM students as soon as they enter middle school. Those who were involved in SEEDS and other writing programs in fourth and fifth grades will enjoy expanding their academic enrichment through the Middle School's PRISM's offerings.

PRISM homework changes according to the individual's program, team goals, and deadlines associated with the various programs. When homework is assigned, it is due on the next PRISM day. Most programs are scheduled back to back so that a full hour of instruction, guidance, and practice are delivered. Students will be expected to complete the assignment given on the first day of instruction so that the second day progresses according to the plans created by Mrs. Rosnick. Each program meets about four times a month and in order to keep "pushing the pile forward" it is necessary that independent work is valued and completed as assigned.
