Goal 2 Students will develop and practice creative thinking and problem-solving skills with a variety of complex topics within an area of study.
Gifted learners have the ability to generate original ideas and solutions to problems. They often see problems or situations in a very different way than their peers; this is often referred to as divergent thinking. They should be provided with opportunities to develop and apply these skills in a meaningful way. GATEWAY facilitates the development of creativity by providing gifted learners with time to explore alternative solutions to problems and the opportunity to take risks and experiment.
