You must pre-register for these labs. Students are assigned to a cluster school and integrated with other students as appropriate through flexible groupings based on interests, strengths and abilities. The program is designed to deliver differentiated instruction in a middle school setting. An interdisciplinary team of students participate in exploratory classes with others of their same grade level, work on service learning projects, and participate fully in Winburn s extra-curricular programs. In addition to fulfilling accelerated core content and Advanced Placement requirements, students participate in two year integrated studies, Socratic seminars, and a mentoring program requiring an independent research project.
Technology is integrated into the basic core areas.
Regular homework assignments are required. A particular emphasis for the gifted and talented is on real life applications to environmental studies. Go back to the Conference 2001 main page.
