Our Instructional Approach

The Gifted Services instructional program is designed around the learning styles and cognitive characteristics of gifted children.

Opportunities are provided for research, inquiry based learning, scientific analysis, project-based learning, abstract thinking, critical thinking, and literary analysis.

To meet the diverse needs of students identified for gifted services, teachers utilize strategies such as differentiation, subject acceleration, curriculum compacting, and tiered instruction which provides challenge and complexity.

The program also uses advanced materials as appropriate and research related to core curriculum concepts.
