Components of A Curriculum for Gifted and Creative Learners

1. Start with state and national standards so you can be confident that your child is learning the skills and content needed in each subject area - including Math, Language Arts, Writing, Science, Social Studies, and History. But don't stop there. . .
   
   
2. Wrap those standards in a concept-based curriculum so children learn skills through big ideas that they can take with them through their lives. It will help them to understand complex interactions, become true innovators, and see the interconnectedness among people, ideas, and environments.
   
   
3. Differentiate the curriculum to meet students at a level that is both challenging and rewarding. Children of the same age can be at different levels. Challenge them all.
   
   
4. Be cognizant of different learning styles. Help children learn in a way that feels natural to them. Don't force all children to learn in the same way all the time.
   
   
5. Work through your child's strengths by utilizing each of the multiple intelligences. When children work through their areas of strength, they achieve greater levels of success.
   
   
6. Encourage the many dimensions of critical and creative thinking. This dimension will set apart the book smart from those who are innovators, inventors, and designers.
   
   
7. Implement project-based instruction to reinforce the real-world application of a child's learning. Instead of isolating math, reading, and science lessons, children should use their skills in a variety of areas to solve problems or create products.
   
   
8. Utilize an interdisciplinary curriculum to help your child discover connections among subjects. Math and Science go hand in hand. Social Studies cannot be understood without reading authentic documents and literature from different time periods and different perspectives. Life does not isolate these subjects, and your child's curriculum should not teach them in isolation either.
