How does the gifted program physical education curriculum differ from that in the “home” schools?
Along with any quality physical education program, the CCL physical education program strives to engage students in meaningful activities that will promote a healthy, active lifestyle, and prepare citizens who are fit for the future. However, at the Center, students do not receive instruction in basic skill mastery nor do they complete fitness assessments, as these are accomplished in their regular physical education classes. The curriculum is generally divided into two broad categories and roughly fifty percent of the instruction time is allocated to each. These are: the integration of core cognitive content and processes from the gifted classroom thematic units, and innovative collaborative physical challenges.
