Gifted/Talented Conceptual Emphasis
2012-2013

If, in each of our disciplines we are consistently able to emphasize:

• The interdisciplinary nature of large ideas, creative expression, and aesthetic experience

• Learning experiences that include:

- Analysis
- Synthesis
- Critical Reflection
- Making Connections
- Finding Questions/Challenging Answers
- Resolving Problems
- Ways to treat assessment as an episode of learning

• Community Building that values intergenerational dialogue

- Communication, with an emphasis on listening
- Collaboration
- Co-operation
- Consideration

Then students ought to be better able to understand and demonstrate the value of their Allegheny Experience.
