(Creative Learning Program pages are under construction.)
The Creative Learning Program (CLP) is the name of North Haven's gifted and talented program. The mission of CLP is to identify gifted and talented students and provide appropriate differentiated educational opportunities suited to their needs. Some of the additional goals of the program include fostering skills in problem-solving, decision making, research techniques, critical and creative thinking, self-direction, and product development.
The North Haven identification process follows the attributes recommended by Dr. Joseph S. Renzulli of the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented at the University of Connecticut and looks for students who have demonstrated above-average ability, show creativity, and have high motivation. When those three elements combine, gifted behaviors tend to exhibit themselves.
Although identifying gifted and talented students is required by federal and state law, providing programming for those students is not required. North Haven is very fortunate to have a wealth of opportunities both for students who are identified as well as non-identified students who are interested in the CLP programming. North Haven has been able to maintain programming for students over the years, thanks to the dedicated efforts of parents, students, teachers, and administration.
If you have any questions about the Creative Learning Program or the gifted and talented identification process, please email Mr. Bevan Moore (moore.bevan@northhavenschools.org) or one of the building facilitators.
