Curriculum & Instruction
Educators must use a variety of assessments to understand and carefully consider the instructional needs of each learner. Gifted students require advanced pathways that challenge them, develop their interests and talents, foster independence and self-awareness, and engage them in unique ways. It is important for the curriculum, instructional strategies, and resources to value the culture and identity of each learner.
