Program Options For Gifted Learners

Just as students with disabilities need extra assistance in school, I believe that gifted students need modifications as well. Program options for gifted students should include, but not be limited to, the following:

• Advanced Placement classes
• Honors classes
• Gifted and Talented classes
• Computer clubs and technology added to normal classroom functions
• Extra-curricular activities such as academic teams, musical ensembles, art groups, etc.
• Grouping/Clustering in classes when appropriate and possible
• Saturday/Summer enrichment programs
• Mentorships
• Internships
• Early identification
• Performing arts options
