Plano Academic and Creative Education (PACE) is designed for the student who demonstrates the need for advanced academic challenges and for opportunities to develop his/her creative thinking. Students may be assessed at any grade level. Referrals may be initiated by parent, teacher or student.
The PACE program is a pull-out program in grades 1-5, which means that PACE students leave their general education class several hours each week for specialized instruction. In general, the PACE elementary pull-out curriculum:
- extends selected aspects of general education, emphasizing greater depth and complexity
- is interdisciplinary (language arts, math, science, and social studies and content are interconnected in broad topics of study).
- emphasizes creative thinking, analysis, problem-solving, discovering information through research, and presenting ideas in multiple formats including through the use of technology.
Referral Deadlines for 2007-2008 are:
Kindergarten: Friday, December 14, 2007
Grades 1-5: Friday, February 29, 2008
