SAS, Gifted, Talented, and Honors
The GATE (Gifted and Talented) Program at Portola Middle School offers differentiated classroom activities that provide alternative learning environments in which gifted students can acquire skills and understanding at advanced academic and creative levels. Subject matter is studied in a differentiated manner to meet and exceed the state core curriculum. Concepts of differentiated instruction such as depth, complexity, novelty, and acceleration are incorporated to enrich the learning experience. Students are challenged to think at higher levels by analyzing, synthesizing, interpreting, constructing explanations and justifying arguments and ideas.
As the Gifted/Honors Coordinator I will be sending you information related to upcoming activities that pertain to you and/or your gifted child. If you would like your name removed from this list or if I have sent you a duplicate email because you may have more than one child here at Portola, please let me know. If you have any questions, or if I can be of assistance, please email me at [email protected].
