The mission of the Sacred Heart Discovery Learning Program is to identify and maximize the growth of learners with high academic ability. The program recognizes the unique social, emotional, and academic needs of these learners and will provide a variety of programming options to develop talent and to meet individual student needs.
Meeting the needs of identified students is the shared responsibility of the Discovery program teacher, classroom teachers, administrators, & parents.
Students with high academic abilities require a variety of services and options to meet their individual cognitive and social-emotional needs.
6th Grade Discovery spent the last month in teams planning and designing games that their peers would enjoy.They engaged in the brainstorming and design process and created a prototype of their game to be played and tested at the conclusion of the process. This game (called 500) was the BIG winner with the entire group choosing to play it again when given the opportunity during a free game choice period!
