Teachers design thematic curriculum around global themes and concepts. Teachers design differentiated lessons and activities. The same lesson can be developed to be foundational or more complex for students with advanced abilities. Enrichment opportunities are available for ALL students instead of being available only for students who qualify for gifted enrichment services. Thematic curriculum is designed so that students have learning opportunities to go in depth, to develop critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills.
Students receive gifted services in their classroom.
They do not receive services in a pull-out program. The Classroom Delivery Model has a Gifted Coordinator who provides support to the teachers and assists with the school district and state requirements. Aquarian is committed to professional development for our staff. A professional learning community is a vital part of the Classroom Delivery Model.
