AZCCRS Integration
The Arizona College and Career Ready Standards (AZCCRS) are the foundation for all district programs. All district Gifted Coordinators are trained in the AzCCRS and implement these regularly in their instruction. Modifications are made to the district adopted curriculum through curriculum mapping, vertical articulation activities, and professional development in order to ensure that gifted students show mastery of grade level standards.
Asynchronous Development
Gifted children vary in their abilities and often their patterns of growth differ from their age peers.
