Tier 1 - Classroom Differentiation (Pedagogical Flexibility)

Tier 1 (Classroom Differentiation) aims to address the need for advancement, depth and complexity, challenge, and creativity. 

At the classroom level, we offer differentiation services and work with classroom teachers to tailor appropriate challenging tasks for our strong learners. Because Gifted and Talented students are shown to learn content more rapidly and qualitatively different from their average age-peers, these children will oftentimes complete regular curriculum at a faster speed, and the various differentiation structures we design in these classes allow our children to engage with activities that target higher levels of thinking (i.e., analytical and creative tasks) as soon as they complete required class work.
