South Winneshiek High School’s Extended Learning Program (formerly known as Talented and Gifted) seeks to collaborate with students, parents, and teachers to adjust the pace of instruction that is realistic and desirable for advanced learners. This instruction provides an appropriate level of challenge, and can reduce the time period necessary for students to complete required coursework. Instructional enrichment opportunities are provided for those students that desire additional learning opportunities in an area of interest such as projects for competitions, educational conferences, or a mentorship. There are also situations in which such modifications are insufficient. Thus, personal adaptations such as content-based acceleration may need to be considered. A student will be considered for acceleration if a student scores 40-50 points on the Acceleration Matrix. Further information about the ELP can be obtained from the ELP advisor or the principal or counselor.

Another TAG Seminar student is working on a research project. They are researching forensics in real life and comparing that to how forensics are shown in certain TV shows, such as NCIS and Dexter.
