Gifted programming at Bear Canyon occurs primarily within the classroom. In addition to this, Mrs. Lisa Busman works with students in small groups a couple of times per week to provide additional enrichment and advanced instruction. Teachers work in collaboration with our Gifted Facilitators to appropriately set goals and plan instruction and learning opportunities to meet the needs of gifted/ high potential learners. Goals, programming and student progress are tracked through a student's Advanced Learning Plan (ALP) which is created each academic year. Programming can include:
Differentiated instruction
Compacted curriculum
Extension activities
Accelerated content
Pre and post assessments
Flexible grouping
Independent projects or studies
