In addition, all students must have exposure to and training in higher-level critical and creative thinking skills and activities as part of the core curriculum (Tier I instruction) beginning in Kindergarten. Giftedness and potential giftedness occurs in all cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Students exhibiting extremely high levels of performance in academics need curriculum and instruction that is specially designed for gifted learners. School is a talent development process, and students who demonstrate one or more areas of academic strength or the potential for academic strength must be nurtured through appropriately differentiated curriculum and instruction in their strength area(s).
