High School Special Programs Gifted and Talented u Program Design The high school component of the program for gifted/talented develops students’ abilities to research independently; to plan and make decisions; to think creatively, logically, divergently and critically; to engage in higher levels of thinking, thus helping students become self-directed learners. Based on the characteristics and needs of the gifted learner, the curriculum is differentiated by providing opportunities for students to interact with more complex and abstract content, processes and at a pace designed to maximize learning experiences for gifted students. Gifted/ Talented learners work toward development of advanced level “products and performances of professional quality that reflect individuality and creativity and are advanced in relation to students of similar age, experience, or environment as part of their program services.” (Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students, 1996). u Student Population Students may enroll in advanced level courses in the four core areas, language arts, social studies, math, and science. These courses are taught by teachers trained to meet the needs of gifted/talented students in the following areas: nature and needs, assessment, curriculum differentiation, teaching strategies, characteristics of the gifted students in these areas. Teachers update their training each year. The high school’s program for gifted students is comprised of advanced courses -- honors, pre-advanced placement, and advanced placement -- in the four core areas. A student identified for gifted services must enroll in 1- 4 advanced level classes in the core areas each year. u Management The high school’s program for gifted students is comprised of advanced courses – honors (math only), pre-advanced placement, and advanced placement -- in the four core areas. Each student identified as gifted is expected to enroll in at least one or two advanced courses in one or more of the core areas (math, social studies, English/ language arts, and science) each year.
