CVES Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)
The purpose of the GATE services in the Poway Unified School District is to identify and motivate highly able students to realize their full potential. Gifted students are higher level thinkers who demonstrate depth, originality, and creativity in their thoughts. GATE students have common characteristics but often unique needs. In order to meet the needs of GATE students all day, classroom teachers differentiate the curriculum as needed. Differentiated instruction is individualized based on what the student is showing in class. Some techniques utilized in the classrooms at Canyon View Elementary are cluster grouping, varying the pace of instruction, compacting the curriculum, higher level questioning, and activities that are open ended.
