Welcome to the Corning Elementary & Junior High ELP or Talented and Gifted Website!
"When once a child has learned that four and two are six, a thousand repetitions will give him no new information and it is a waste of time to keep him employed in that manner."- J.M. Freenwodd (1888), Supt. of Kansas City, MO Schools

The goal of the Corning ELP program is to provide opportunities not available in the normal class room setting, allow student's to focus on interests in depth, cover topics not covered in the regular curriculum and to push the student to achieve more than they thought possible and to create life long self learners.
Self learners are ones who do not rely on other people to find all of the answers to all of their problems. Our goal is to nurture students who can identify problems, locate relevant information related to those problems, find solutions for the most important problems and also collaborate with others when needed in a professional manner.
How does my student qualify? A committee meets each spring to go over teacher recommendations, ITBS and Math Scores, as well as peer and self reviews to determine which students qualify for the program. We take up to the top 5- 15% of the class based off of this data. Normally students who qualify score above 90 percentile in several areas on the achievement tests. These students are selected in the Spring.
Other pullout programs such as Junior Great Books and Math Seekers entry we accept up to the top 25% of the class, but the student must be a high achiever in the subject area and highly recommended by a teacher. To automatically qualify for the group, we include students who scored in this particular subject area on ITBS or MAPS scores above 90 percentile. These students are not selected until the Fall of that particular school year.
I've created a homepage for each group I teach throughout the week. Several students are in multiple groups.
Parents check out the various home pages for updated pictures, extra links to required parents forms, or see what we're currently working on in class. You can contact me any time through the Contact Us page.
Students check assignments due, blog with your fellow students on assignments, ask Ms. Klopp questions outside of class and view the awesome pictures of yourself and friends.
