Instructional Focus
Instructional Focus (IF) is a twenty-five minute non-credit bearing course that affords students the opportunity for tutoring and/or enrichment during the school day. IF is often an extension of the fifth period class in which students have scheduled time to complete various assignments, homework or projects. IF also serves as a vehicle for mandatory tutoring for those students who may need additional assistance in mastering mathematical concepts, or assistance in reading, essay writing, etc.
