MAGNET PATHWAYS AND THEME
-
Gifted and Talented
This magnet program is rooted in the belief that every student has gifts and talents that are valued and nurtured through this model. Students in GT schools explore an extensive menu of electives, all of which enhance the Common Core and Essential Standards, and all of which are designed to develop students’ strengths and interests. Through this structure, students have the opportunity to customize their academic programs by choosing elective courses according to their academic needs and interests. World Language instruction and expanded visual and performing arts opportunities are available K-12.
During their three elective periods students explore new areas of interest or study a particular area in depth. This allows students time to hone their talents or explore new areas of interest. Elective courses are offered on a yearlong, semester, and quarter basis; therefore, a student has the potential to take up to twelve different electives per year.
AIG Basics
Students who are identified by WCPSS as Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) participate in the AIG Basics Program. Our AIG students are mixed heterogeneously in their core classes. Moore Square teachers have received AIG training in order to implement differentiated instruction in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies for our AIG identified students. All schools that offer the AIG basics theme offer it in conjunction with the GT magnet theme.
