The Comprehensive Accountability Framework for the Pajaro Valley Unified School District focuses on data-driven instruction. The first step in teacher planning is to analyze student work to determine the level of understanding and achievement. Lessons focus on the various instructional levels in the classroom to provide a rigorous curriculum to all students.
Appropriate strategies for gifted students include (but are not limited to):
- Integrated Thematic Units for Houghton Mifflin reading series (Click here to access ITU's)
- Literature Circles and Novel Study
- Rubrics that set clear goals for advanced writing
- Use of Depth and Complexity Icons to extend the core curriculum
- Research Projects or I-Search (Click here to access resources)
- Reader-writer workshop
- Higher level of Thinking Taxonomy (Click here to access resources)
- Choice Boards and Extension Menus
- Noyce Foundation Problem of the Month www.noycefdn.org/pom.php
