1:1 Technology for All Grades

At Braddock Elementary, each student receives an FCPS-issued laptop to access dynamic resources and participate in learning tailored to the student’s individual needs. Students will have access to the device at school, and in some schools and grade levels, they will also be able to take their device home.

Responsive Classroom

At Braddock, we use the Responsive Classroom (RC) approach to create a safe, welcoming and culturally inclusive school community. RC is a research and evidence-based approach to education that is proven to increase student achievement through improved teacher effectiveness, while generating a warmer, more nurturing school climate.

RC focuses on increasing teacher competency in three key areas. Teachers create and deliver engaging academic lessons for all students. Teachers and staff foster and maintain a positive community in the classroom which resonates throughout the building. Lastly, teachers and staff utilize an effective, orderly management repertoire for the students throughout the school.

Advanced Academic Enrichment and Local Level IV Program

Advanced Academic Programs at Braddock ES provide challenging learning experiences that are designed to meet the unique learning profile of a broad range of advanced learners. Through a continuum of opportunities, students engage in complex subject matter, problem solving experiences and thinking routines that prepare them for more challenging and rigorous classes as they advance in grade level.

Young Scholars

The Young Scholars (YS) Model identifies and nurtures advanced academic potential in students from historically underrepresented populations.

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

Elementary ESOL Services are individualized to meet students' English language development needs. ESOL teachers work directly with multilingual learners to advance English language development by building academic language and content understandings in tandem. Multilingual learners develop English language proficiency through engaging in reading and writing tasks and academic conversations.

Special Education Services including Noncategorical Special Education (NCE)

Braddock provides many programs that support the implementation of evidence-based practices to increase the academic achievement and the social and emotional competence of students based on individual needs.
