Students may be working at much higher level of standards and/or capable of progressing through more than one grade level in a single school year. Flexible pacing is key. • Differentiation: It’s got to happen. The complexity of work must be greater with the GT students. Creativity must be included in the rubric. Problem-based learning can work with both of these. • Curriculum Openness: The curriculum should not be limited by content area. GT students can and should work across the curriculum, seamlessly blending all content areas. One of their greatest strengths is the ability to see the interconnectedness of ideas and theories, and this should be encouraged.
