Diagnostic and Prescriptive Teaching.
To insure that all of our students succeed, Pikes Peak Prep employs diagnostic and prescriptive teaching. We do baseline testing of all our students for the purpose of identifying areas of strength, weaknesses, and any gaps in learning. This information then allows teachers to tailor their teaching in a very prescriptive way, much like a doctor treats problems, to backfill the gaps and build the weak areas with intervention strategies. By doing this, students are able to successfully move forward in learning without have a deficit. On-going formative assessment is routinely conducted, so that adjustments and course corrections can be made when and where needed.

Fluid Flexible Skill Grouping
At Pikes Peak Prep we always begin instruction where students are. If a child is behind where they should be, we work with them in a group for that specific skill. Once that skill is mastered they move on to the next skill. These groups are fluid. Students move in and out of various groups based on their needs. An example may be a third grade girl who is strong in reading, but struggles with math. For reading, she may be in a skill group working on a 6th grade skill. However, in math she may temporarily be in a fluid skill group working on a second grade skill. Once, she masters this skill, she immediately transitions into the next level group.

These groups allow for re-teaching of skills when needed and challenges students in their areas of strength.

These combined strategic teaching methods, personalize and individualize each child’s learning to enable them to be successful and meet their potential.
