Program Objectives: The GATE Elementary program provides enrichment for identified GATE Academic students through a pull out program. Small groups (not more than 12 students) of gifted students meet 180 minutes per week in the GATE Resource Room. (Public law 13-26, passed in 1975, mandates the gifted education program for Guam students.
The GATE Resource Teacher also works closely with the classroom teacher to discuss the needs and progress of each student and to assure harmonious transition for the child from classroom to resource room.
Curriculum emphasis for the K-5 program includes activities designed to promote independent learners. In order to accomplish this, students are provided with a variety of learning skills in the areas of problem solving inquiry techniques, creativity, higher levels of thinking and acceleration. Also, integrated throughout the program are activities in the affective domain which involve feelings, values, social responsibilities, and self-esteem.
