      ?麻豆映画传媒 GATE Vision Statement

      To provide a comprehensive high-quality program that meets the intellectual, academic, and social/emotional needs of all intellectually gifted students in the 糖心vlog会员.

      麻豆映画传媒 GATE Mission Statement ?

      It is the mission of the 糖心vlog会员’s Gifted and Talented Education Program, in partnership with parents, the community, and staff, to provide a high-quality educational program for gifted students in order to develop their knowledge, skills, abilities, and values. The district’s GATE program currently serves one category of gifted students: Intellectually Gifted - students with high potential in the areas of abstract thinking and reasoning ability as applied to school learning situations.

       

    • Students are identified for our GATE program via . Once identified, students are placed into cohorts with other GATE-identified students in 4th and 5th grade along with other same-aged peers.

      ?The core of our GATE program is based on classroom instruction. Teachers differentiate for gifted learners by exploring depth of content knowledge, complexity and inter-relation of relevant topics, and, when appropriate, acceleration and pacing of lessons.

    ?In 麻豆映画传媒 students are screened in third grade and may be identified as gifted by their performance on the CogAt. The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) is a multiple-choice K-12 assessment that measures reasoning skills with different types of verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal questions. In 4th and 5th grades, students can be nominated to take the CogAT again by a parent or teacher who fills out the HOPE nomination form. 

    In 麻豆映画传媒, parents of GATE students have the opportunity to participate and learn more about giftedness, and our district program, by participating in the District GATE Advisory Committee's monthly meetings.
