The Western Wayne School District Gifted curriculum focuses on complex and in-depth study of major ideas, key concepts and themes that integrate knowledge within and across disciplines. Curricula for the gifted students are an extension of core learning, using both acceleration and enrichment strategies. Academic needs, identified annually through the review of standardized test data, drive each child’s individualized education plan.
The Western Wayne School District demands high quality student work and performance demonstration through high-level thinking, creativity, and problem solving skills as set forth in the Pennsylvania Academic Standards. Rubrics based on the PA State Standards are employed to assess goal achievement in the GIEP.
