| Services
for GATE students are provided through differentiated instruction
within the classroom, as mandated by State Standards. In-service
and materials for teachers are provided on "Differentiated Instruction
for Gifted Students."
Identification
of GATE students is based on performance in the following
areas:
-
STAR reading and math scores
- Recommendation
by Teacher, Parent, Student
- Visual
and performing arts
- Leadership
Students,
parents and faculty have an opportunity to attend the annual
GATE conference in the fall/spring at College of the Siskiyous.
The
GATE program supports the Annual Egg Drop Contest, Odyssey
of the Mind teams, and school-wide presentations. Odyssey
of the Mind is a team-building, problem-solving competition
activity that encourages students to "think outside the
box". OOTM develops real-life communication and brainstorming
skills, and rewards creativity and "calculated"
risk-taking in the solution of complex problems.
