The Ventnor City Schools begin the GT program in grades K-2 with a push-in model that allows the GT teacher to observe and offer enrichment activities to the students. Grades 3 and 4 utilize a pull-out GT model that enhances content areas and provides students with opportunities to explore topics of interest. GT students in grades 5-7 also utilize a pull-out model for instruction where students are challenged to expand their thinking through a variety of hands-on project-based activities. GT students in eighth grade participate in accelerated learning in Mathematics and ELA. In addition, grade eight students are also selected for participation in Algebra 1 and Spanish 1 based on the results of multiple measures. The District Curriculum provides suggestions for each content area to enrich all GT students in the program across all subjects. Professional development for teachers is on-going to ensure that all students’ needs are continuously met.
