Prep <strong>Gifted</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Talented</strong> (<strong>GAT</strong>): Vision<br />
TSS Prep’s commitment to all boys is to provide them with encouragement,<br />
support <strong>and</strong> opportunities to achieve their best.<br />
Our vision for <strong>Gifted</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Talented</strong> boys is that they feel supported <strong>and</strong><br />
encouraged by a community which fosters a learning environment that both<br />
challenges <strong>and</strong> supports the boys to pursue excellence <strong>and</strong> develop a passion<br />
for lifelong learning.<br />
We aim to:<br />
1. empower the boys who have been identified as <strong>Gifted</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Talented</strong>,<br />
<strong>and</strong> provide them with opportunities <strong>and</strong> programs to reach their full<br />
potential;<br />
2. identify double labeled or underachieving <strong>Gifted</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Talented</strong> students<br />
3. be dynamic in our approach to accommodate the individual needs of<br />
our boys;<br />
4. provide a pathway for TSS Prep students to enter the <strong>GAT</strong>/ Honors<br />
Program at the Senior School<br />
5. support the teachers in developing differentiated programs to meet the<br />
needs of the <strong>Gifted</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Talented</strong>;<br />
6. provide information that increases the underst<strong>and</strong>ing within the Prep<br />
community of what it means to be a <strong>Gifted</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Talented</strong> student; <strong>and</strong><br />
7. foster a culture, within TSS Prep, that values high academic<br />
achievement.<br />
