Electives
Special Programs
At Williams Junior High School in Davenport, we provide a positive learning environment to prepare students for a future of life-long learning. This includes many specialized programs and electives, in addition to the core subjects of Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and Language Arts/Reading. Students have the opportunity to participate in unique electives at Williams Junior High such as Business Education, Family and Consumer Science, Foreign Languages and Music.
Response to Intervention
Response to Intervention is a process that schools use to help children who are struggling academically or behaviorally. The Davenport Community Schools use “data teams” of teachers at the school level to examine student work and assessment data to identify and better serve the needs of students having poor learning outcomes. These teams establish a plan for evidence-based interventions and monitor student progress, adjusting the intensity and nature of those interventions as needed to improve student learning.
Special Needs & Exceptional Education
Davenport Community School district offers a wide range of programming opportunities for students across a wide range of special needs (or disabilities) ages 3 to graduation. Our commitment is to develop an individualized program based on the need of the student. The program will be provided in the least restrictive environment, based on the plan developed.
Talented and Gifted Program
The Talented & Gifted Program serves students who demonstrate outstanding abilities or potential in the areas of general intellectual ability or specific ability aptitude. Students who demonstrate outstanding potential when compared with others of their age require differentiated instruction.
Differentiated programming will enable these students to maximize their life-long learning potential and contribute to the betterment of their community. Community-wide advocacy of differentiated programming for these students is essential. These are the beliefs that have guided the design of the Davenport Community Schools Talented & Gifted (TAG) Program for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
