Mitchell Excellence 2000 takes pride in its success in bringing excellence to different schools and elevating the studies of many students. Based on great request from schools already operating E2K programs, the Center for Excellence decided not to limit its program to selected students in each school, but rather to enhance science skills and promote excellence throughout the entire grade level in selected schools. In addition to the core of the E2K program, this unique program offers in-depth science studies to students on a wide spectrum of academic levels.
Sharing the E2K Experience with Others
The School-Wide Program adapts its contents to fit the class's existing science curriculum, as well as the teacher's capabilities. By doing so, the program relates to the subjects studied in the class and completes them by broadening the subject and initiating science research within the student body. The studies focus on every stage of scientific research, both in theory and in practice.
The School-Wide Program does not overlap with the regular E2K studies designed for the school’s outstanding participants. In fact, the E2K students assist the program in spreading excellence. Their willingness and capabilities to lead other students in their studies and act as models of excellence in small work groups improve motivation and excellence for every student in their grade and school.
Laying Trust and Responsibility in the Students Hands
The Center for Excellence provides the classroom teachers with extra training on the subjects being taught, as well as in advanced teaching methods. Using these new methods, teachers start partnering with the students during the science research, encouraging the students to take charge of the project and work on their own. The responsibility and trust the students receive from the teacher strengthens their science skills, along with their motivation and self confidence.
