Albert Lea Area Schools has aligned instruction to a model of four critical questions:
What is it we expect our students to learn?
How will we know when they have learned it?
How will we respond when some students do not learn?
How will we respond when some students already know it?
The Gifted and Talented program is focused on the fourth question. Our goal is to support teachers in meeting the needs of students who have already achieved the established learning goals.
Please see the "Mission" page for more information on our program.
