Program
Format and Thematic Units
The
format of Sachem's Gifted and Talented Program is a modification of the Renzulli Enrichment Triad and incorporates aspects of other
theoretical models (Bloom, Williams and Guilford)
as they apply to the program goals and the needs of the students. Students
attend GATE sessions during regular school hours, using a rotating schedule.
All
students participate in interdisciplinary exploratory units to broaden their
experiences and interests. The Thematic Unit Topics provide the students with
opportunities to apply the skills outlined in the program goals. Since it is
possible for students to participate in the program from one to four years, the
curriculum follows a non-repetitive four-year cycle in which the desired skills
are introduced and reinforced through a variety of unit activities.
