2.0E District curriculum plans should include objectives, content, and resources that challenge gifted learners in the regular classroom.
2.1E Teachers should be responsible for developing plans to differentiate the curriculum in every discipline for gifted learners.
2.2E Documentation of instruction for assessing level(s) of learning and accelerated rates of learning should demonstrate plans for gifted learners based on specific need of individual learners.
2.3E Gifted learners should be assessed for proficiency in all standard courses of study and subsequently provided with more challenging educational opportunities.
3.0E When warranted, continual opportunities for curricular acceleration should be provided in gifted learners' areas of strength and interest while allowing a sufficient ceiling for optimal learning.
4.0E Possibilities for partial or full acceleration of content and grade levels should be available to any student presenting such needs.
