What is RISD doing to ensure that the needs of gifted students are being met, especially in junior high, when REACH is no longer offered and pre-AP classes are crowded and not selective?
RISD serves its gifted secondary students through the PreAP and AP classes in the various content areas. Teachers in these classes are required to have College Board training in the subject area and also training in gifted strategies. Within the scope of the curriculum for PreAP and AP classes, there is also differentiation. The suggested College Board outline is used for these courses, and all teachers in RISD are encouraged to include differentiation strategies in lessons to meet the needs of all students. RISD’s philosophy is that by allowing students to choose specific subject areas of interest or strength, the needs of gifted students are able to be met.
