Background

Our Previous Gifted ModelOur Previous Gifted Model

Our Goals • Work to our teachers strengths and best meet the needs

of our students.

• Include intervention time to stop the gaps in curriculum we see as students continue through and/or exit the SAGE Math program.

• Meet the required instructional minutes for both Math and ELA (Reading and Writing) at the appropriate accelerated level.

• Students receive 90 minutes of Advanced Math instead of 45 minutes of SAGE Math and 45 minutes of Grade-Level Math.

• Offer true Gifted programming with Project Based Learning opportunities for students to explore personal interests.

• Reduce unnecessary transitions that waste instructional time.
