Gifted & Talented Learners (GT)
At Bromley East, gifted and talented learners will have the opportunity to explore their passions while developing their knowledge within a traditional classroom environment.
Through personalized support and enrichment opportunities, our program nurtures academic excellence, creativity, and meaningful social connections.
Program Overview
Gifted and talented learners at Bromley East collaborate with their teachers to create individualized Advanced Learning Plans (ALPs) tailored to their specific strengths, areas of identification, and social-emotional needs. These living documents are updated throughout the year to reflect each student's progress and evolving goals.
To ensure gifted students are both challenged and supported:
- Differentiated instruction (customized to individual needs) encourages deeper exploration of interests and helps students attain a higher level of understanding.
- Cluster grouping places groups of gifted students with peers of similar abilities in elementary and middle school LEAD and Language Arts classes, encouraging collaboration and intellectual growth.
- Advanced math opportunities allow middle school students to complete 6th through 9th-grade standards by the end of 8th grade, preparing them for success in high school and beyond.
- Affective goals in ALPs help students build self-awareness, manage challenges, and develop resilience, ensuring their emotional growth aligns with their academic success.
- Enrichment activities, such as GT retreats, field trips, performing arts, clubs, and sports, provide opportunities for creative expression, leadership development, and meaningful relationships.
By combining personalized plans, supportive peer connections, and enrichment opportunities, our program ensures gifted learners thrive both in the classroom and in their broader learning community.
