GIFTED EDUCATION
BARTRAM SPRINGS ELEMENTARY
Students who are gifted have learning needs that go beyond what is traditionally offered in the regular classroom. The nature of their abilities, demonstrated or latent, requires differentiated learning experiences and opportunities for them to maximize their potential. This can be accomplished by offering opportunities for students to:
- Pursue topics of study in greater depth or to a greater level of cognitive challenge
- Tackle a wider range of authentic and complex academic tasks that require doing real worldwork
- Advance through activities at a faster pace
- Develop a sense of self and the possibilities that the world has to offer
The "gifted model" provided at Bartram Springs Elementary is a pullout resource classroom. Pullout resource teachers incorporate seven goals into the gifted classroom; Genius Hour, PETS and Code.org are utilized to meet the objectives for the goals. The gifted classroom also includes differentiation, choice boards, compacting and enrichment.
