2. What is the Integrated Curriculum Model?
It combines 3 different Curriculum Models that have proven successful with gifted and talented students.

3. An Overarching Concept- Reading, reflections and discussions provide students with opportunities to create and construct meanings for key concepts. This allows for cross curricular connections
Advanced Content- Pre Assessments allow students the opportunity to show mastery of concepts and skills in content areas. Teachers are able to compact the curriculum and guide students through advanced content at a more rapid pace.
Process/Product- Self-directed learning allows students to explore a topic of personal interest. They construct knowledge and apply it to products that are high-quality.
