What is Bronco+?

What is Bronco+?

Bronco+ is an embedded time during the instructional day where ALL students can
receive support or participate in enrichments experiences. Bronco+ allows EVERY student to see their greatest potential while at DJAMS!

Interventions/Support
Sometimes we just don’t get it. We need some extra time and support to boost our learning. This is protected time for our teachers to help us understand and show we
know it - and move on!

Extensions/Enrichment
Sometimes we get it and want to know more. These courses fulfill our curiosity on the content we’re learning - or what we’d like to learn!

Every Thursday afternoon - a schedule like this will be posted on CANVAS announcements. It has ALL the teacher courses for the following week. If a teacher has not already scheduled you for support - you may choose from any open class tutorial or enrichment.

REMEMBER TO CHOOSE WISELY!
If you see an open tutorial that is reviewing a skill or content material that you need for an upcoming quiz/test - schedule yourself for that course! Educate and Empower!
