How do Gifted programs benefit the whole school population?
When a school system seeks to create an environment where each student is appropriately challenged, it ensures that highly intellectual students are not expected to fend for themselves. Instead, it seeks to assist all students in realizing their potential. Since Roanoke County Public Schools has a philosophy of differentiation of instruction in the regular classroom to meet the needs of gifted students, the varied instructional techniques and strategies employed by the teacher offer enhanced learning opportunities and benefit all students.
