This is an infographic from the Nebraska Department of Educating, highlighting its vision for High Ability Learning, which is “to ensure that all gifted and talented students in Nebraska have meaningful opportunities for academic and personal growth commensurate with their abilities as well as career development to actualize their full potential and become lifelong learners who are college, career, and civic-ready.”
The graphic also illustrates the four pillars of this vision: 1. Appropriate Identification, 2. Meaningful academic content that is adequately challenging, 3. Programming to address specific social and emotional needs, and 4. Equitable opportunities and access for students from all backgrounds.
At the base of these pillars is the foundation of, 1. Ongoing professional development, 2. Promoting awareness for High Ability Learner needs, and 3. Stakeholder engagement (family, community, etc.).
