For an updated syllabus and seminar schedule for the year, please refer to the Canvas pages. If you don't have access, contact your gifted education teacher. 

To continue the theme of limits of order from tenth grade, students in eleventh grade explore the development of personal identity over space and time within the context of American artifacts and uniquely American concepts and culture. The topics explored utilize multidisciplinary and multicultural elements: literature, historical documents, architecture, and art. Students explore political theory and social constructs. The two main units are American Identity and American Political and Economic Values. 

Students attend 8-10 seminars over the school year during FLEX periods to minimize the amount of missed class time due to attending seminars. They may attend one or both FLEX periods on days gifted seminar is offered.  Additionally, at least one gifted field trip is offered during the school year to reinforce the topics covered during seminars.  Permission forms are sent home weeks in advance of the trip and must be returned for students to attend.   

Due to school events, testing, snow, or other circumstances, seminar dates may change. Any changes will be communicated with students via Canvas Announcements and student emails. 

Referral for Gifted Services 

Peers, faculty, and parents are always welcome to refer a student for evaluation for gifted services. In addition, a student may nominate himself/herself. Please see Mrs. Collette in room 5-206 for a referral form. You may also contact  Mrs. Amanda Collette with any questions or requests for additional information about the gifted program.
