  10. What we believe about instruction for GT & High Achieving Students … • Every student has their own strengths & talents. • Students should have opportunities to work in an independent, self-paced fashion and also work collaboratively with classmates. • As our future leaders, students must be able to communicate, problem-solve, and think critically. • Technology should be utilized as a tool for communication, information-seeking, and presentation. • Students should have the opportunity to make decisions about their learning and how to apply it.

  11. What we believe about instruction for GT & High Achieving Students … • Instruction should focus on the whole learner – emotional growth, social growth, and academic growth are the goals. • Rigorous instruction implies deeper levels of thinking, not simply more work. • Meeting the needs of learners requires flexibility in academic pathways, both in the classroom and in the program.
