What is WIN Class?

GKMS families are noticing WIN on their students' schedules.  What is WIN?  WIN stands for What I Need - a program I observed in Chatham last year.

If a student is in band they will miss WIN II.  All other kids have WIN I and WIN II. One of these will be directed to Reading, the other to Math.  Each student will be placed in a class specifically addressing an area of weakness or an area of strength.

If data shows us a student may be below grade level in one area, they will work to develop those skills through interventions to help them excel and reach grade level performance.  If a student is above grade level, they will be working on extension activities maximizing their strengths.

During WIN and WIN II time, students will be specifically working on what they need.  Feel free to contact the office with any questions.
