Curriculum and Instruction

Differentiated Curriculum - courses of study in which the content, teaching strategies and expectations of student mastery have been adjusted to be appropriate for gifted students. Comprehensive assessment results should be used to match gifted program services to students’ documented advanced learning needs. The ability to match appropriate instructional services to student profiles is as important an equity issue as using a variety of indicators of students’ potential giftedness.

The curricula developed by SCCPSS for gifted learners are based on the characteristics that generally differentiate gifted learners from more typical learners – learning at faster rate, increased capacity to find, solve and act on problems, their ability to manipulate abstract ideas and make connections, etc. The learning objectives below outline the basis for the gifted curricula used in the SCCPSS gifted program.

Gifted Standards

1) Research Skills - Develops advanced research skills and methods which include in-depth self-selected topics within an area of study.

Rationale/Discussion: Gifted learners possess an extensive knowledge base, learn at an accelerated pace, and are capable of advanced levels of comprehension. In addition, many gifted students are highly curious and intrinsically motivated, especially to pursue topics that interest them. As compared to their age-peers, gifted learners tend to have longer attention spans, exhibit a stronger need to know, and can follow-through with assignments. If gifted students are to benefit fully from these abilities, the gifted program must emphasize the development of skills that enable them to become effective as independent learners. Because of the advanced nature of their abilities and interests, gifted students need to learn how to access advanced-level reference materials, including a variety of print and non-print references and information retrieval systems. They need learning tasks that allow them to explore personal interests through guided research, independent study, and community involvement. In order to conduct authentic research, students need instruction and guidance in learning to ask the right kinds of questions by looking at techniques used by experts in the specific field. They need instruction in the development of a written plan of research (with emphasis on how one gathers, categorizes, analyzes, and evaluates information in particular fields); assistance in evaluating their own work; and in considering implications for future research.

2) Cognitive Skills -Develops and practices creative thinking and creative problem solving skills within a variety of complex topics.


Rationale/Discussion: Gifted learners have the ability to generate original ideas and solutions, and they characteristically see diverse and unusual relationships. Their instruction must allow opportunities to further develop and apply these skills in meaningful situations. Because gifted individuals often exhibit differential patterns of thought processing (e.g., divergent thinking, sensing consequences, making generalizations), a curricular need is to be to be able to explore alternatives and consequences of those choices, and to draw and test generalizations. The original thoughts and ideas often expressed by gifted students may in some settings be perceived as odd or off-task by others. This results in the inhibition of creative thinking. The gifted program must provide an environment in which students feel free and safe to stretch beyond the "right" answer that comes so easily for them. They should be encouraged to take risks and to experiment so that creativity can be developed.

3) Learning Skills - Develops and practices critical thinking and logical problem solving skills in academic areas.

Rationale/Discussion: It takes less time for gifted students to learn new material and master new skills. One strategy for differentiating instruction for gifted students is to structure lessons and units in such a way that capable students spend a larger proportion of their time on higher order thinking, using the content they have mastered to further develop their understanding of the concepts and practice the skills of critical thinking.

4) Communication Skills -Develops advanced communication skills via new techniques, materials, and formats (written, oral or visual) in products and through presentations shared with an audience.

Rationale/Discussion: It is important to remember that throughout history we have recognized "giftedness" in individuals because of the impact they have made on other individuals and society at large through their products, whether the area of giftedness is art, science, leadership, literature, etc. Feedback from real audiences provides gifted learners with a chance to further improve their communication skills. Internal motivation develops when students pursue ever-increasing levels of excellence in their final products and receive confirmation from real audiences that others value their intellectual and academic talents.

5) Affective Skills - Develops an understanding of self and how their unique characteristics may influence interactions with others.


Rationale/Discussion: Many gifted children experience difficulty in accepting some aspect of their giftedness. Their heightened self-awareness, accompanied by feelings of being different, can result in low self-esteem and inhibited growth emotionally and socially. Consequently, there is a need to provide gifted students with time for interaction with other gifted students, reflection, and discussion for the purpose of self-understanding. A strong aptitude for solving problems allows gifted students to deal effectively with these concerns when given the opportunity and guidance needed. This type of involvement can also help provide students with a foundation for leadership development.

http://www.mrdonn.org/

This site has lots of information for Egypt as well as China.

Some broken links on this site, but there are some good ones. Mummify an Apple, Fun Guide, and Hieroglyphics are some that work and are pretty good.

http://www.archaeolink.com/ancient_egypt_lesson_plans.htm

This is basically a site with a listing of sites. I’ve not gone through all of them, but it’s definitely worth a look.
