Philosophy

Mission

All children are entitled to an education tailored to their particular needs. While all students have personal strengths, some have abilities and talents that go beyond the core curriculum. Such students often require access to differentiated or advanced curriculum in order to realize their potential contribution to themselves and to society.
A continuous and dynamic identification process helps assure that the talent potential of ALL children is consistently and continuously assessed for the purpose of appropriate instruction.
The district’s advanced learner program is not the sole responsibility of one person or group. Those who are involved with planning, implementing, supporting and evaluating the district’s advanced learner program include administrators, teachers, related service staff, advanced learner coordinator, psychologists, counselors, and parents.

Create Individualized Learning Plans for Tier III identified students by collaborating with parents and staff.
Assist teachers to meet the needs of advanced students in their classroom.
Implement programming K-12 by providing district and regional opportunities for developing individual growth of advanced students.
Develop student understanding and acceptance of self and others.
