The Odyssey program will provide students with skills and strategies to strengthen their capacity for thinking. The program will consider the standards developed by the National Association for Gifted learners in meeting the needs of gifted learners through educational programming focused on the following areas: critical and creative thinking, interpersonal skills, self-awareness, self-directed learning, research, and 21st century learning skills such as technology, communication, and innovation. The students will meet two times each week as an Odyssey resource class.
Gifted resource teachers will also be working with some classroom teachers to support differentiated instruction by collaboratively designing tasks to challenge gifted children in the regular classroom. To support gifted learners in all content areas, we will be planning with various grade level teams to differentiate instruction for gifted students.
I look forward to working with you and your child this year.
