  • The National Association for Gifted Children states that exceptional early childhood learners develop best in settings where learning is differentiated with increasing levels of rigor over time. In addition to differentiated practices in our general education instructional program, a teacher of the gifted and talented supports lessons as a collaborator in our primary grades and provides supplemental instruction for our intermediate learners that focuses on critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration at the appropriate learning levels.

    A multiple-measure process identifies exceptional students and designs a program that best meets their needs. In addition to the aforementioned facets of our program, we also include support for identified students during the elementary Accelerate period. During Accelerate, students work with our gifted and talented (G&T) teacher to explore project-based learning through community service, content-related projects, and individual choice.

     

  • The South Hunterdon Regional Middle School's Gifted & Talented (G&T) program offers differentiated instruction tailored to the needs of gifted and talented students while also challenging their thinking. Through this program, students participate in small and large-scale cross-curricular projects designed to utilize their skills and knowledge, expanding their learning opportunities.

    Students will learn about mechanical drawing, architecture, carpentry, artistic design, 3D printing, and other related fields.

    The G&T program is an excellent way for students to engage in high-level, project-based collaborative learning. Whether they are artists, scientists, mathematicians, programmers, or otherwise talented, students can engage with others to apply their talents, develop new skills, create outstanding projects, and make some great friends
