Elementary

Thinking. Learning. Doing.

Ensuring that students engage in learning at a level which is challenging and yet a level for which each student has the prerequisite skills necessary for success. The following elementary course offerings are provided as an example of scope and sequence for an average QSI school. Each QSI school will modify the course offerings according to local needs and requirements. Some schools may offer further courses to be made available through the QSI Distance Learning Program.

Elementary (5-11 Year-old) Classes

Elementary-age students take a full program of mathematics, literacy (reading and writing), science, cultural studies, art, music, physical education, and world languages. Russian and Kazakh are offered to students that are native or non-native speakers as a part of the regular program, as well as Spanish and French. Extra-Curricular Activities are available for students two afternoons per week.


Travis Moore
Director of Instruction, Elementary
 

My name is Travis Moore, and I am glad be a part of the team at AIS. With over 15 years of dedicated service in diverse educational settings, I have honed my skills as an educator, leader, and advocate for student success. Throughout my career, I have held various roles, from classroom teacher to school administrator. My experience includes designing and implementing effective instructional programs, providing professional development, and leading school improvement initiatives. I have a strong passion for supporting English Language Learners and have extensive experience in designing and implementing programs to meet the diverse needs of this population.

Prior to my current role, I served as Assistant Principal at East Aurora Union Free School District, where I had a variety of responsibilities, including overseeing student discipline, developing the Master Schedule, and more. Before transitioning to administration, I worked as a staff developer at Erie 1 BOCES, providing staff development, technical assistance, and instructional coaching to teachers of English learners. I also facilitated professional learning communities and collaborative planning meetings. My earlier experiences as a teacher in various school locations, including China, Morocco, and the United States, have equipped me with a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by students in a number of contexts. 

I hold a Master of Science in Education (TESOL) from the State University of New York at Fredonia and a Certificate of Advanced Study in School Building Leadership and School District Leadership from St. Bonaventure University.
