| Gifted students at
Trantwood Elementary are provided with instruction via a differentiated
curriculum responsive to the educational needs of the child. Mrs.
Hawley provides opportunities for gifted students to benefit from
learning challenges offered through the differentiation of curricula,
the incorporation of strategies designed to raise the level of learning,
and the availability of specialized programs. The educational delivery
models found in our cluster/resource program encourage and provide
an arena for all teachers of gifted learners to practice effective
collaboration. Through collegial sharing and opportunities for professional
growth, they provide services for the entire
elementary population. If you need additional information contact

Gifted services available at Trantwood are provided through the cluster/resource model. Kindergarten and first-grade teachers, along with the gifted resource teacher and the building principal, collaborate to decide the appropriate level of instruction for the students. Instructional involvement may come through staff development services, extension activities, whole group lessons, or various configurations of small groupings of students. Identified students in grades two through five are placed in heterogeneous classrooms, and are taught by a cluster teacher trained in gifted education. A resource teacher, endorsed in gifted education, assists the cluster teacher in delivering instruction at a depth and rate conducive to the intellectual needs of gifted learners. The cluster/resource program is grounded in general education curriculum but is differentiated, modified and expanded, to provide appropriate learning challenges. Students are required to demonstrate mastery of the state-mandated Standards of Learning and their instruction is accelerated when they have already mastered a particular skill or unit. |
