What is skill development and how is it relevant to Step Up?
At Step Up, students improve their academic proficiencies in core disciplines, particularly English and Math. In English, students practice reading comprehension, write creative essays, and learn complex vocabulary using fun and creative methods. In Math, students refine their arithmetic fundamentals through practice problems and learn to work with their peers to solve difficult questions.
Step Up aims to do more with our English and Math classes than just teach students a new word or mathematical concept. We also want them to take away real, applicable skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration so that they may use them to succeed in the future.
Although this week was a shorter one, we’re excited to continue our program as scheduled this Monday at East Middle School. See you all then!
