Rockledge Elementary is a TAG in
the Regular Classroom (TRC) school. Since Rockledge is a school with a
high TAG population, students are cluster grouped into a regular classroom
with 5 or more of their peers. This provides students with the
opportunity to have their individual needs met, while encountering a
challenging curriculum throughout the entire school day. Teachers have
gone through extensive training and are continuously expanding their
knowledge of instructional strategies that are key in educating gifted
children. Through the use of higher-level questioning techniques and
frequent formal and informal assessments, students will be consistently
evaluated based on their performance, mastery, and diagnosed areas of need.
Teachers focus on encouraging creativity and critical thinking through
inquiry based teaching and learning. Flexible grouping strategies are
implemented in order to consistently meet the needs of individual students.
A thorough understanding that students are intelligent in a multitude of
ways and the desire to assist students in developing these multiple
intelligences guide teachers in their instructional decisions. Through
the use of instructional technologies, primary sources, and culturally
diverse resources, students will be provided with enriching and worthwhile
educational experiences that will promote the desire to be lifelong
learners. It is our desire to foster independence and self-motivation
within our students so that we may instill in them the tools necessary to
become lifelong learners.
