Description
The community model program at Lincoln Heights Magnet Elementary School features reduced class sizes for students. The average K-2 classroom has fifteen students, and the average 3-5 classroom has 18 students. The small class size nurtures and supports the community theme of this magnet program.
This theme comes to life when students participate in centers that mirror the local community. Students put their learning into practice in their community post office, bank, television station, publishing house, theater and student goverment. They showcase their work in two evening celebrations throughout the year.
Large, uninterrupted blocks of instructional time are another feature of this model. Teachers plan in-depth units that cover several subject areas, and students have time to focus their attention and enjoy projects designed to capture their interest.
Extension centers are a creative way to coordinate instruction across all areas of the curriculum. Special teachers in the arts, technology, and media work with grade level teams to assure that extension center learning builds on and extends classroom learning.
Lincoln Heights was awarded a Magnet School of Distinction by Magnet Schools of America in April 2006.
