The Michigan Alliance for Gifted
Education believes ...
- Our society needs the contributions of individuals to lead,
solve problems, and create a better environment.
- Programs for high-level learning uncover, encourage, nurture,
and maximize the abilities and talents of young children and
adolescents.
- Curriculum and instruction to meet the needs of high level
learners will modify the depth, complexity, and pacing of the
general school program.
- Providing appropriate high-level learning environments to
reinforce the strengths, needs, and interests of high-level
learners requires flexibility in grouping, curriculum design, and
viable program options.
- Schools must have access to knowledgeable and qualified
individuals to help design, implement, and evaluate appropriate
options and curricula for high-level learning.
- Specialized pre-service and in-service training opportunities
should be provided for all teachers and others working with
high-level learners.
- Local, state, and federal policies are necessary to support
and implement appropriate, equitable, and high-level learning
options and services.
- Partnerships and networks based on the cooperation,
collaboration, and commitment of parents, schools, and communities
are essential for the development and maintenance of quality
programs for high-level learners.
