Can Core Knowledge be adapted to meet the needs of gifted/honors students?
In the interest of equity and excellence, we believe that gifted children should learn the same content as other children in classrooms implementing Core Knowledge. We expect that children identified as “gifted and talented” will be given time to explore concepts in greater depth to extend their learning. A sample fourth grade unit for gifted children (written by Jennifer England) demonstrates how to provide extension options and activities using grade-level content.
