About Quest and Gifted Services
Elementary schools may two models of service: pull-out resource classes and/or push-in support in academic courses. In the resource classroom, units of study are chosen based on the needs and interests of the students being served. The curriculum has an academic content foundation, but focuses on interdisciplinary enrichment activities. Content and pacing is different from the typical classroom. Activities help students develop research skills, practice creative thinking and apply critical thinking with each task. It also provides time to be together with intellectual peers, which is important for both social-emotional and motivational reasons. Students may also be placed in "clusters" and supported in a content area of strength, such as math or ELA, in their regular classes.
Middle and high school students are served in Advanced Content, Clustered, or Collaborative Classes. For most middle school students, this service is in one subject area. Teachers are planning together to ensure that students are challenged with rigorous and relevant assignments and projects. High school students also have options for online and dual-enrollment. Please see your counselor.
