Google Classroom
Google Classroom
Our Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) students utilize Google Classroom as a robust, centralized digital platform to manage and enhance their accelerated learning experience. This versatile platform acts as a digital hub, streamlining the process of assignment distribution and collection, where teachers can easily share challenging materials and students can submit their enriched projects. Its key capabilities include fostering enhanced communication through the class 'Stream' for announcements and discussions, and allowing for differentiation by giving teachers the option to assign unique, complex tasks or resources to individual students or small groups. Furthermore, Google Classroom integrates seamlessly with other tools like Google Docs and Slides for real-time collaboration on advanced projects, provides a single location for accessing all course materials anytime, anywhere, and simplifies sharing of information among teachers, students, and parents, helping our GATE students stay organized and engaged with their enrichment assignments.

GATE Website
The GATE website serves as the essential digital tool for consistent communication and comprehensive access to all program activities. It is frequently updated and houses critical features such as projects organized by grade level, providing clarity on advanced curriculum and expectations for students. The site features engaging photo albums to showcase student work, a detailed section for upcoming events, and a robust repository of digital resources to support extended learning. Furthermore, it contains essential program reminders and acts as the official channel for important announcements. To ensure seamless alignment and stay fully informed about curriculum, activities, and opportunities, parents and classroom teachers are strongly encouraged to access the GATE website often at this address: GATE Program Website.

Parents,
The fall semester parent-teacher conference is a wonderful opportunity to stay informed about your child’s growth and learning. These meetings go beyond a simple update on classroom academics, behavior, or group activities—they also focus on your child’s individual educational journey for the year.
At Bartlesville Public Schools, each gifted student has an Individualized Gifted & Talented Plan (GTIP). Think of the GTIP as a roadmap that outlines opportunities your child’s classroom teacher will provide to challenge and support them throughout the school year.
During your conference, you might expect to discuss how your child’s teacher is using strategies such as:
Differentiated curriculum – tailoring lessons to meet your child’s unique needs.
Curriculum compacting – allowing your child to move quickly through material they’ve already mastered.
Acceleration – moving ahead in subject areas when appropriate.
Enrichment opportunities – extending learning beyond the standard curriculum in creative and meaningful ways.
The GTIP highlights what the classroom teacher is ready to provide once your child has demonstrated mastery of grade-level concepts.
Additionally, the GATE pullout class at JP will be listed on the GTIP as one of the many opportunities available. GATE serves as an extension of the regular classroom, designed to broaden and deepen learning while expanding on the Oklahoma Academic Standards for each grade level. We encourage you to view the GATE project links below.
GTIP's
GTIP's
GTIP stands for Gifted & Talented Individual Plan.
Classroom teachers are required to fill out a GTIP for every identified gifted student in their class. GTIP's are given to parents at fall conferences.
The GTIP lists the student’s assessment scores and areas of strength.
Classroom teachers develop an individualized plan to accelerate or enrich the student within the regular classroom.
Acceleration: Increasing the speed at which a student covers the material, or moving beyond the grade level material to more challenging material (example: advancing to a higher grade level on Study Island.)
Enrichment: Extra activities, projects, or assignments to bring more depth and breadth to the learning experience (example: make a math game board using the math objectives being taught to share with the class). See Bloom’s Taxonomy for more ideas!

STEAM at GATE
We utilize the comprehensive STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) framework in our GATE class to provide a truly hands-on, interdisciplinary learning experience for your elementary student. We actively connect subjects through real-world challenges, empowering your child to think and create just like professional scientists, inventors, and engineers. Students use Science and Mathematics as their foundation for understanding, apply Technology and Engineering to design and build solutions, and rely on the Arts to drive the creative process, visual communication, and effective problem-solving. This approach ensures our young learners develop the critical and creative skills necessary to thrive in a wide range of STEAM-related careers and become the innovators of tomorrow.
