Gifted Education
The needs of identified gifted students are
met as much as possible through the
regular classroom with consultation services provided by a gifted education
consulting teacher. The consulting teacher works with general education teachers
to differentiate the curriculum for high-ability students, enabling gifted
students to
reach their fullest potential. Such accommodations may include pre-testing and
compacting curriculum, alternate assignments, independent study, or acceleration
in one or more curriculum areas, based on the individual needs of students as
well as inclusion lessons planned with the intellectually gifted students in
mind. For example, at GMS all students have the opportunity to participate in
various activities such as Lego League Robotics, West Point Bridge Design
contest, National History Day, Stock Market classes and competition, National
Geography Bee, Chess Club, and writing competitions.
