Advanced Learning
The Vision of the Advanced Learning Programs Department is to promote rigorous curricular content in conjunction with critical inquiry, creativity, communication of complex thoughts, and an authentic approach to learning. We support the balance of curricular depth and breadth while fostering the development of academic habits and skills.
The goals of Cobb’s Advanced Learning Programs Department are:
- Develop cognitive skills
- Develop affective skills
- Extend and enrich the Georgia Standards of Excellence
Delivery Models
Resource Class – All students are identified as gifted according to Georgia State Board of Education criteria. Examples: ES Target, MS Resource class, HS gifted electives
Advanced Content / Honors – Students are homogeneously grouped on the basis of academic performance/achievement in a specific academic content area. Classes include gifted and highly-able students who have demonstrated exceptional ability and motivation in a particular content area as determined by criteria.
Elementary Advanced Content courses in reading/ELA and math are available at most schools.
