Schoolwide Enrichment Model   The Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) is a detailed blueprint for total school improvement that allows each school the flexibility to develop its own unique programs based on local resources, student demographics, and school dynamics as well as faculty strengths and creativity. Although this research-based model is based on highly successful practices that originated in special programs for the gifted and talented students, its major goal is to promote both challenging and enjoyable high-end learning across a wide range of levels and demographic differences. The idea is to create a repertoire of services that can be integrated in such a way to create "a rising tide lifts all ships" approach.  Minnesota Institute for Talented Youth   Check here for updated program information  Arts Connected Docent Link    probchart_.cwk   Mr. Nelson's Probability Assignment Tessellation Project Did you know that any quadrilateral will tessellate?
