In the gifted classroom, teachers are still teaching grade level standards, they are just adjusting HOW they teach.

Gifted and Talented Instruction How will instruction look different for gifted students? Students will be taught through: Acceleration and enrichment

How will instruction look different for gifted students? Provide service that matches the strength area of the child Escalate one or more facets of the curriculum in order to match the characteristics associated with giftedness
