VanguardEducation

allow students who are advanced in any of the core content areas to do advanced work reflecting depth and complexity of the general school curriculum

• Interdisciplinary curriculum • Special units from each of the core areas • Differentiation of each of the core areas in regular or self-contained classes • Acceleration in a discipline that is a particular area of strength

• Independent study courses (At the elementary level, students may be allowed to pursue specific areas of interest through independent study even though there is not a specific course.) • Dual/concurrent enrollment • Mentorship programs • Education Service Center (ESC) seminars (may also be in-school or out-of-school) While it is true that any one of the above learning opportunities may not constitute a gifted/talented program, it may be one activity in the “array” or “menu” of options that are available.
