School for Advanced Studies (SAS)

 

Dearborn is very excited to be a School for Advanced Studies (S.A.S.).  Our teachers have received extensive training on the best way to work with our identified gifted and high-achieving students. We at Dearborn believe that our S.A.S. students need to be challenged by having a class that offers additional critical and higher-level thinking. Our teachers continue to receive comprehensive training in order to meet the needs of our S.A.S. students.
There are amazing things happening in our S.A.S. rooms and I am proud to be part of it.
To find out more about enrollment in the S.A.S. program, drop a note to Miss Keesee in the main office or see Principal Debra Hirsch.

Schools For Advanced Studies
"The Advanced Studies Program has been implemented to meet the needs of gifted and talented students throughout the Los Angeles Unified School District. It establishes an articulated program at the elementary school, middle school, and senior high school levels. The Advanced Studies Program is designed to expand student assessment and identification and to offer a differentiated instructional program. Gifted learners perform at remarkably high levels when assessed in comparison with others of their age/grade peers. Highly able learners should receive careful attention and differentiated program planning to ensure that their knowledge and skills are extended. Exceedingly high numbers of gifted and potentially gifted students in the District have resulted in a critical need to expand options for appropriate instructional programs to match their levels of learning."
For any other questions about the Schools for Advanced Studies (SAS), call your local district superintendent, or call Sheila Smith, District Coordinator, Gifted/Talented Programs, (213) 241-6500.
