Choice and Voice is an innovative, research-based program designed specifically for gifted students performing above their same-age peers.

Explore the Choice and Voice Bundle, designed to close the gap from theory to practice. The bundle includes everything you need to implement a seamless delivery of quality education when supporting the gifted learner.

Backed by educational research on gifted learners, Choice and Voice aligns with best practices in differentiated instruction, project-based learning, and self-regulation theory. Studies show that when gifted students are given autonomy, authentic audiences, and real-world applications, they are more engaged, motivated, and capable of producing exceptional work. This program integrates these principles, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and deep learning.

The program follows a structured yet flexible framework:

• Weeks 1-3: Students explore topics, select a project from a curated list of 20 ideas, pitch their concept to peers for feedback, and create an action plan.
• Weeks 4-13: The phase where students follow their action plan, bring in resources weekly, and receive ongoing teacher support with scaffolded check-ins and trackers.
• Week 14: Students refine their presentations and share their work with an authentic audience, ensuring their end product makes a real-world impact.
• Week 15: Students engage in a structured reflection process using self, peer, and teacher rubrics, setting SMART goals for future growth.

Each end product seamlessly integrates research, creativity, and written components, ensuring a well-rounded and rigorous learning experience. Whether implemented for an individual in a mainstream class, a small withdrawn group, or a dedicated gifted education cohort, Choice and Voice provides the challenge, autonomy, and structure necessary for gifted students to excel.

Unlock the potential of your gifted learners with Choice and Voice Teacher Resource, where their ideas, passions, and talents are nurtured into impactful, high-quality projects.
