Programming Model

Elementary Programming Model

Identification for math and reading enrichment in grades 2-5 is based on Cognitive Ability Tests and Fastbridge aReading and aMath achievement test results that demonstrate a clear student need. (Specific criteria is available upon request.)

Level 1 Programming: Grades K-5

  • High quality curriculum with differentiation is provided for all students within the classroom.
  • The gifted education staff provides support for teachers and students inside the classroom.

Level 2 Programming: Grades K-5

  • The gifted education staff provides short term enrichment opportunities for students demonstrating a need for additional challenge in the areas of reading and/or math.
  • Students in kindergarten and grade one exhibiting uniquely high academic needs will be considered individually for programming.

Level 3 Programming: Grades K-5

  • Programming is provided for students identified with unique academic needs that are not met by Level 1 and Level 2 enrichment opportunities.
  • Gifted education staff have direct involvement with students in grades 2-5 who demonstrate a need for student based programming which is above and beyond the regular curriculum.
  • Educational opportunities for these students include subject or grade acceleration, early entrance, and curriculum based pull-out groups in reading and math for grades 2-5.

Level 4 Programming: Grades 3-5

  • The goal is to meet the academic and social needs of students who are highly gifted and demonstrate a need for in-depth, complex curriculum that is beyond the grade level core curriculum.
  • Full time programming that provides differentiated learning experiences and intellectual challenge to stimulate continuous academic growth.
