What is enrichment?

To me, enrichment means a chance to show what you know in a "different" context. Some students will be offered enrichment homework for chapters 3 - 7. Students doing enrichment homework for ch. 3 have aced their past two tests. These students are taught the same lesson and have direct instruction during class, then they work together in the hall to complete a different homework assignment. Students can earn enrichment for the next chapters by getting an A on this test. Students are not automatically in enrichment each chapter. It must be earned through consistent excellence in the classroom. These students will have the same instruction, quizzes and tests as their peers.
