Instructional Focus
Instructional Focus (IF) is a twentyfive 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.
