Challenging Advanced Student Learning
Advanced students at St Paul’s are challenged through explicit teaching, complex texts, vocabulary development, creative projects, high-order thinking, and multi-step mathematical problem-solving tasks.
Students who consistently demonstrate that they have mastered standards and skills through their tasks are challenged with explicit teaching in the classroom to progress to the next level of work. This can include a range of tasks designed to extend these students, including:
- Reading more extended and complex texts, and discussing these with peers in guided groups and literature circles
- Developing knowledge of more advanced vocabulary and elements of grammar and punctuation
- High order thinking tasks
- Extension through creativity such as art or music projects
- Being challenged to solve multi-step mathematical problems
