Rationale for a Standards Focus
Standards will……ensure students learn what they need to
know for success in the 21st century…ensure educational quality…provide guideposts…provide a curriculum template
VanTassel-Baska, p. 37-9
![Page 8: Gifted and Talented Academy Year 2 Curriculum and Instruction Session 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5a4d1c0c7f8b9ab0599f47a0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Standards as Core Curriculum• Basic content areas are the organizational
framework for schools• Content-based instruction provides natural
context for curriculum planning• Gifted spend majority of time in traditional
subject-matter disciplines• Giftedness is often conceptualized as domain-
specific• Applying higher-level skills to content enhances
transfer--VanTassel-Baska, p. 39-40
![Page 9: Gifted and Talented Academy Year 2 Curriculum and Instruction Session 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5a4d1c0c7f8b9ab0599f47a0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Problems with Standards
• Teachers don’t perceive standards as helpful in differentiation for most able students.
• Standards are perceived as low-level.• Perception that standards are content-based
and, therefore, inappropriate for gifted.• Assessments have been found to be narrow,
less demanding, and tied to factual material.• Effectively implementing strong standards-
based education benefits students but requires stronger teacher planning.
![Page 10: Gifted and Talented Academy Year 2 Curriculum and Instruction Session 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5a4d1c0c7f8b9ab0599f47a0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Adapting Standards for Gifted
• Many are already high-level, so tasks for gifted can be developed directly from the standard
• Unpack the standards to determine scope and intent
• Use essence of the standard as rubric for assessment
• Organize by HOTS across subject areas• Accelerate within standard after pretesting• Select materials that address the intent – not
just content – of the standard
![Page 11: Gifted and Talented Academy Year 2 Curriculum and Instruction Session 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5a4d1c0c7f8b9ab0599f47a0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
This requires…
…the use of effective teaching and learning models
e.g., Richard Paul’s Reasoning Model
…flexible grouping practices
![Page 12: Gifted and Talented Academy Year 2 Curriculum and Instruction Session 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5a4d1c0c7f8b9ab0599f47a0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Using the Reasoning Model
• Triads• Apply Paul’s Reasoning Model to the
issue/problem of quality curriculum for the gifted.
![Page 13: Gifted and Talented Academy Year 2 Curriculum and Instruction Session 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5a4d1c0c7f8b9ab0599f47a0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is the issue?Quality curriculum for gifted learnersWhy are we reasoning about it?(purpose/goal)What are the points of view?
What are the assumptions people make?
What are the important concepts?
What evidence supports the point of view?
What inferences can we make?
What would be the consequences of different actions?
--based on Paul (1992)Center for Gifted EducationThe College of William and Mary
![Page 14: Gifted and Talented Academy Year 2 Curriculum and Instruction Session 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5a4d1c0c7f8b9ab0599f47a0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Gifted educators will be able to defend their practice only when they thoughtfully
implement a standards-based curriculum that is adapted and modified for gifted
learners. When such action is taken, gifted education becomes a part of general
education reform rather than an endeavor separate from it.
--VanTassel-Baska, p. 51

Curriculum Framework
• A strategic plan for curriculum– Overall goals and outcomes across all areas
and grade levels– Links goals and outcomes to strategies for
accomplishing them– Assessment approaches that measure
outcomes
![Page 16: Gifted and Talented Academy Year 2 Curriculum and Instruction Session 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5a4d1c0c7f8b9ab0599f47a0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Curriculum Framework
• Purposes/Benefits– Creates consensus on what a gifted curriculum
is supposed to be– Provides a specific tangible product that
answers the question of what a district’s curriculum for the gifted is
– Brings teachers and administrators into curriculum planning in a meaningful way
– Represents a communication tool– Captures distinctive features and reveals
balance.

Curriculum Framework
• Review Fairfax County Curriculum Framework (Ch. 4, p. 56-60)– What do you notice about this document?– What are its essential features?– What purposes might it fulfill?
• Review p. 119-24• See “Student Goals and Outcomes” found on
the Wiki.– How would turning this into a curriculum
framework document make it more meaningful and useful?
![Page 18: Gifted and Talented Academy Year 2 Curriculum and Instruction Session 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5a4d1c0c7f8b9ab0599f47a0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Thoughts on a Curriculum Framework Document
• Outlines what students will gain from gifted programming and services
• Integrates gifted into general education• Applicable to all
content areas• Your thoughts?

Scope and Sequence
Scope – expansiveness and comprehensiveness of a curriculum
Sequence – organizing and ordering of curriculum experiences to maximize learner effects
In what ways – if at all – might scope and sequence for gifted learners be different from that for typical learners?
![Page 20: Gifted and Talented Academy Year 2 Curriculum and Instruction Session 3](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022804/5a4d1c0c7f8b9ab0599f47a0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Sequence Considerations
Comprehensive Curriculum for Gifted Learners, p. 49
Issues QuestionsDifferentiation for gifted learners Could all learners do this task at the cited stage
of development, or is the task demand more advanced, complex, or conceptual?
Progressive development of learning
How are the objectives more sophisticated as they move through the grades? Can you track such progression?
Scope Are the objectives sufficiently broad-based and inclusive of underlying knowledge and skills necessary to address the goal?
Logical ordering Is there a logical sequencing of knowledge and skills necessary to attain the goal?
Developmental appropriateness Are the objectives developmentally appropriate for gifted learners? Do they account for the readiness of gifted learners for advanced content earlier?

Team Planning• Develop student goals & outcomes as the
beginning of a curriculum framework document.
• Begin work on a scope and sequence for these goals.

Home Play• Finish curriculum framework document.• Read Chapters 7, 8, & 9 in Curriculum
Planning & Instructional Design for Gifted Learners and respond to Moodle forum.
• For next time bring a literacy or math unit, instructional materials, and district standards/benchmarks.
