Services
Teachers of gifted/talented students differentiate the core curriculum through various means, including flexible groupings, acceleration of content, inquiry projects, interest centers, learning centers, compacting in student’s area of strength, adjusting questions, honors and advanced placement courses, and use of above grade-level resources. Schools provide a more rigorous standard providing differentiation, rather than “One-Size-Fits-All” instruction as an integral part of the regular school day.
