IN ADDITION TO THE BASIC CURRICULUM, CHILDREN ENROLLED AT ASPIRATION ACADEMY

CAN PARTICIPATE IN SPECIAL GROUPS TO ENHANCE THEIR LEARNING EXPERIENCE

A group for reading:  (e.g. The Reading Society)

• Coaches read parts of books to students and then have the students read to the rest of the class or an individual coach.

• Each student gets books of their own.

A group for individual pride: (e.g. The Pride Society) 

• Each background of students is talked about in positive terms.

• Guest speakers from different religions and/or ethnic groups emphasize the children's religious and/or ethnic groups.

A group for Black and Hispanic history: (e.g. The History Society)

• Coaches relate the "story" of prominent Blacks and Hispanics in America.

A group for patriotism and history of the United States: (e.g. The Patriotism Society)

• Books and coaches show the importance and influence of Blacks and Hispanics in America's history.

A group for dreaming:  (e.g. The Dream Society) 

• Each student tells of their dreams for the future with the group providing commentary, insights, support, and suggestions.

• Follow-up support is provided by coaches and/or volunteers to assist in the dreams of each student.
