HERE WE COME!Mrs. Gollan-Wills, Gifted Itinerant—Secondary Programming
AGENDAPART I: Secondary Enrichment Enrichment Programming: ELOPE Curriculum Compacting WISE and AP (Advanced Placement) IDC 3O, 4O, 4U SPARK! Conferences Outreach, Community Partners
PART II: Secondary Courses Planning for Secondary School Choosing Courses
WHAT DO ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS AND
SERVICES LOOK LIKE AT SECONDARY SCHOOL?
WHAT’S OUT THERE? Mix of credit and non-credit programs/services Enrichment Programming: ELOPE Curriculum Compacting WISE and AP (Advanced Placement) IDC 3O, 4O, 4U SPARK! Conferences Outreach, Community Partners
Note: every school offers enrichment in different capacities; these are some of the enrichment opportunities available. Please get in contact with either myself or the secondary school’s gifted teacher contact to obtain more in-depth information on programs and services offered at that particular school.
Extended Learning Opportunities through Progressive Enrichment
Completely voluntary Workshop-style IN the school Student-interest driven Can lead to larger outreach opportunities
Range of activities: novel studies, debates, philosophical discussions, guest speakers, poetry, critical thinking, problem-solving, among others
COMPACTING: accommodation (acceleration + enrichment)
Student works through the curricular material at a quicker pace with extension and enrichment
Completes all assessment criteria Remains in teacher’s class (on role) or on roll of a gifted
teacher contact*, but can work in an alternate area (supervised)
Frees up time to complete other elective courses, AP, enrichment opportunities, study for SATs, among others
*Importance of planning backward! New! Course bank through D2L/online
Advanced Placement
University level credit (and/or advanced standing) by exam
Various phases of support/delivery
Students: Purchase study guide/text Pay for exam fee ($93 USD 2017) Are set up with a mentor/master teacher in the subject area Write an exam in May Levels 4 and 5 are typically rewarded with a transfer credit* Postsecondary institutions decide what credit to award once you are a
university student

NEW! Honours Thesis course; course housed in D2L b-learning
Extension of ELOPE sessions; based solely on student-interest LARGE-scale enrichment conferences Again, completely voluntary Like-minded peers across the board Some currently available:
