Gifted and Talented Definitions

Creative Thinking Activities - Students learn and practice skills which increase their creative thinking processes

.

Curriculum Compacting - Modifying or “streamlining” the regular curriculum in order to eliminate repetition of previously mastered material and to provide time for appropriate enrichment and/or acceleration activities while ensuring mastery of basic skill.

Differentiated Curriculum - Curriculum which is qualitatively changed to better match the learning characteristics and needs of high ability students.

Independent Projects - Students work on projects independently with teacher supervision. These projects go beyond the regular depth of classroom instruction.

Learning Centers - Areas set up in a classroom that provide for enrichment.

Learning Contracts - Student and teacher sign a contract that allows the student to be involved in independent or group study that is different from the regular classroom.

Mentorship - A program option which provides an opportunity for students to be paired with a teacher, parent, or community volunteer in an area of expertise or interest. It is usually done on a one child-one adult basis for a fair length of time to enable student to develop her/his knowledge in the specific area and, perhaps, to develop a product from the experience.

Modified Curriculum - Units are modified to meet the needs of high ability students.

.

Pre-Testing - Students are given a test before a unit of study begins for the purpose of modifying curriculum for different abilities.

Pull-Out - A method used for students that are 4-8 years ahead of their peers in a school subject where students work with the gifted and talented coordinator or another adult on special projects.

Subject Acceleration - A student takes the next level of a particular subject at an earlier age/grade level than normal.

Thematic Units - A teacher or teams of teachers use a unifying theme to teach material from one or more content areas, i.e. courage, Greece, friendship.

Varied Assignments - Daily assignments are modified to meet the needs of high ability learners.
