ALPS works in partnership with NVUSD leadership to spread differentiation strategies to meet the needs of all learners in the classroom within the school day. Our motto is “every student gets what every student needs.” Using state-adopted curricula and focusing on student strengths, we assist teachers in providing differentiated, rigorous, and accelerated experiences during the school day.  We also assist teachers and families in identifying resources for serving “multiple intelligences”   and unique interests of students to encourage their passion for learning.
