Overview

Have you ever wondered what to do with Brian, the student who quickly absorbs and accurately completes all the work you give him? He’s constantly at your desk asking, “What can I do now?” How often have you found yourself without the time or resources to devote to the Brians of your classroom? Do you tell him to read a book or ask him to help others with their assignments? Light Bright activities offer opportunities for independent learning. Each activity is student-centered, self-directed, and self-paced.

The Light Bright enrichment program offers a complete package of motivational, interest-based projects for students. Designed to parallel Joseph Renzulli’s Enrichment Triad Model, the program includes three levels of projects. Exploratory Baskets allow groups of students to explore a variety of subjects and topics. Creative Teaching provides opportunities for small groups of children to examine a subject in greater depth and detail. Community Resources and Mentors offer individual students the chance to pair with mentors for intense study.

This exciting program offers interest-based enrichment and accelerated learning experiences, high standards and advanced levels of academic challenge for all students, activities that develop creative and critical thinking skills, and hands-on activities that focus on the student as a firsthand inquirer.
