Students High school credit to students who have completed high school courses while in middle school will be awarded to students. Credit will awarded automatically after the student has passed the final examination, passed the course and successfully completed the next level of the course sequence while in high school. Schools will utilize flexible and varied grouping practices that enhance the opportunity to receive expanded, intensive, enriched and accelerated curricula at all instructional levels. While English and math instruction are held in separate classes, GT instruction in social studies and science may be offered in either separate classes or through clustered grouping of students as the schedule dictates. Students register and are accepted for individual GT courses and not for the GT program as a whole.
Enrichment gives students the opportunity to learn in greater depth and breadth.
Enrichment includes but is not limited to complexity of content, emphasis on analogical and transformational processes, and creative and original products. Acceleration may include, but is not limited to advanced placement in subject, curriculum compacting, telescoping curriculum, and concurrent programming. Teachers think about and plan instruction in order to meet the diverse needs of students based on their learning characteristics. Differentiation includes but is not limited to creative grouping practices, block scheduling, independent research, internships, performance-based learning experiences, interdisciplinary units, and multilevel assessment tools such as products, tests, and portfolios. The committee also plans recognition of students.
