We recognize that gifted students have special talents that must be nurtured, as well as unique needs that must be addressed through accommodations such as differentiation of content, instruction, and assessment, as well as through careful attention to their social-emotional development. By considering the whole child, and not just his or her innate abilities, teachers, parents, and administrators will be able to challenge and motivate gifted students to reach for the stars and achieve at their full potential.
Program Goals
- Continuous Academic Progress for Advanced Learners Specific annual goals, objectives, and learning plans that exceed state content standards are developed for identified advanced learners based on the District’s advanced level curriculum and individual student readiness, interests, and learning profiles.
- Professional Development Focused on Advanced Learners. Teachers, support staff, and administrators continue to participate in trainings designed to help them effectively address the academic and social/emotional needs of advanced learners.
- Improved Communication Staff, students, and parents have a clear understanding of and easy access to the District’s GATE Plan.
- Active GATE Advisory Team There will be active and meaningful participation on the GATE Advisory Team by parents, community members, and staff.
