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.
