Enrichment

Longfellow's STEAM program aspires to foster student development in the 4 C’s of 21st century learning:  collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking.  This is achieved through: 1) finding meaningful ways to increase technology integration in the classroom, 2)  implementing computer science lessons using the SFUSD K-5 Creative Computing curriculum, and 3) providing highly-engaging, hands-on STEAM-related activities.

Longfellow recognizes the pivotal importance of literacy for the academic success of children and  that some students  have difficulty acquiring the skills to become fluent readers and writers, even when they are receiving a high-quality differentiated classroom instruction. Teachers with students who are not progressing with Guided Reading can consult with a Literacy Specialist, RTI or CARE team for strategies to provide additional Tier 2 interventions. Students who do not make adequate progress (are achieving below grade level expectations) are identified and eligible for 30-45 minutes of daily supplemental instruction (Tier 2) provided in small groups or 1:1 according to student need and school resources.
