The academically gifted are a
unique population differing greatly from their age group
in abilities, talents, interests, and psychological
maturity. The gifted need to work with content and
ideas appropriate for them but beyond most of their age
peers. Gifted students need and thrive in an
educational program which will increase their
involvement and interest in learning.
Green Mountain Students identified
as gifted at a specific grade level are clustered
together whenever possible. Cluster teachers are offered
opportunities for education and training in gifted
education.
Classroom teachers develop a Highly
Capable Student Plan (HCSP) to differentiate the
classroom curriculum to fit the individual needs of each
student.
- HCSP’s are developed carefully
based on each student’s talents and interests.
- HCSP’s show how curriculum
will be adjusted and enriched using the options at
Green Mountain.
- HCSP’s are working documents
and are adjusted as needed throughout the school
year.
- HCSP’s are shared with parents
during fall conferences and placed in the students
cumulative record.
- HCSP’s are carefully aligned
with the Washington state Grade Level Expectations.
- HCSP’s follow students from
year to year.
