Advanced Learning Opportunities Program (ALOP)
Dearborn Park has been officially designated as an Advanced Learning Opportunity Pathway School by the Seattle School District!! Our school went through an extensive accreditation and review process, which included a team of teachers, and a written plan to address needs of advanced learners. We currently have five teachers involved in this program at our school.
This means we have trained staff who work with accelerated learners at each grade level in reading, writing and math. If a child excels in Math, they might be placed in an ALOP math group in their classroom even though their reading and writing might need improvement. This is often true with English Language Learners. We are just starting this program and we are excited about developing it further.
