 Characteristics of Gifted Learners  Self-Contained Class Description  Goals  Educational Philosophy  Expectations  Common Core Standards  Curricular Resources

 Is intense  Already knows  Draws inferences  Is a good guesser  Asks the questions  Has wild, silly ideas  Is keenly observant  Constructs abstractions  Manipulates information  Discusses in detail, elaborates  Is mentally and physically involved  Enjoys learning (but NOT necessarily school)  Shows strong feelings, emotions, and opinions  Plays around, yet tests well (versus works hard)  Initiates projects (versus completes assignments)  Creates a new design (versus copies accurately)  Typically needs only 1 or 2 repetitions for mastery  Is highly self-critical (this often translates into perfectionism)

There is tremendous potential for learning when academically gifted children are grouped together, and in the self-contained classes gifted students are grouped together all day every day. Students who qualify for this program need the support and challenge that a peer group of students with similar academic interests and abilities provide. Students will participate in the school’s regular art, music, and physical education curriculum. The core curriculum will consist of Kyrene’s grade-level curriculum in all subject areas. Once students master grade level curriculum, they may be exposed to advanced curriculum and enrichment.

The teachers will follow Kyrene’s philosophy of continuous progress – particularly in language arts and math – so that students may be challenged at an appropriate level of difficulty. At the same time, opportunities will be provided to apply and extend content knowledge and skills. Student workload will be designed to be the same in amount as for other students in these grades, but it will be different in content. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, teachers will provide opportunities for students to learn and practice the interpersonal skills so critical to success. Presentation skills, public speaking proficiency, and the various skills involved in polite and intelligent collaboration will be emphasized.
