services are an integral part of the general education
program.

instruction and curriculum to continuously improve student
achievement and performance.

emotional needs of advanced-level learners.
- Recognize and develop
diverse abilities and talents.

professional development for its teachers to help them meet
the unique needs of advanced-level students.
