The gifted and talented program at the kindergarten through fifth grade levels is designed to provide differentiated instruction for identified gifted and talented students. Differentiated instruction offers a variety of learning options designed to tap into students’ interests and abilities by providing additional depth and complexity to the grade level curriculum.
The curriculum for Eula ISD’s gifted and talented program in the core content areas of math, language arts, social studies, and science will follow the TEKS. Each teacher plans instruction to provide depth and complexity of content to meet the needs of gifted learners.
At each grade level, students will be taught by a teacher with the required GT training, who will provide differentiated instruction. Students will be provided opportunities to work alone, with other GT students, and with non-identified students.
Gifted kindergarteners will be identified by March 1 each year and will also participate in the pull out program as well as receiving differentiated instruction in their regular classes.
Gifted students in grades 6-12 receive services in one or two of the four core content areas: Language Arts, Math, Science, or Social Studies. Placement in a particular content area is based on student strength and interest. Students will receive differentiated instruction according to the students needs and interests by a teacher with the required GT training.
