=5th Grade GT ELA - Lexington 1=

The purpose of this project is to blend Gifted and Talented state standards with 5th and 6th grade ELA standards to create a model that will infuse GT-type instruction on a daily basis into the ELA curriculum, while integrating SS content. This model also seeks to incorporate our district's 21st Century Learning Continuum as we move forward with our Schools of the Future initiative.

SC Gifted and Talented Standards and Framework:
GOAL ONE To support mastery of core areas of learning at a pace, complexity, abstractness, and depth appropriate for gifted learners. GOAL TWO To develop understanding of concepts, themes, and issues which are fundamental to the disciplines as well as society and to develop an appreciation for interrelationships among the disciplines. GOAL THREE To develop inquiry skills at a level of complexity, abstractness, and depth appropriate for gifted learners. GOAL FOUR To develop the skills of critical thinking, problem solving, and decision-making at a level of complexity, abstractness, and depth appropriate for gifted learners. GOAL FIVE To develop proficiency in communicating abstract and complex ideas, relationships, and issues.
