In the United States, there is advanced education for children with high IQ, which is called gifted juvenile class. This is the "genius plan" of major public schools in the United States. As early as the beginning of the19th century, only a few decades after the founding of the United States, a group of folk educators realized the importance of "gifted education", and the "gifted education" in the United States was thus formed. The formal "gifted education" began in 19 18, and the large-scale federal "gifted class" program only began after the 1960s. After nearly a hundred years of development, the gifted education system in the United States has gradually matured and become the country with the most popular "gifted education" and the largest strength of researchers and teachers in the world. From kindergarten to middle school, there are "gifted classes".
The genius plan needs examination screening. Although they are all called gifted education, the gifted programs in American states are different. In Texas, the genius program starts in preschool at the age of five. Every September, children who have reached the age of four are free to sign up for the pioneer program in kindergarten, which is often called "genius class", 1 1 or so. In the first grade, every child needs to take this screening exam every year, and qualified students will be sent to the pioneer program of our school. If there is no gifted program in the primary schools in the school district, parents may need to help their children enroll in other primary schools, but the content of the exam is the same. Teachers' recommendation letters for children above grade one account for a certain score, and preschool children mainly rely on parents' recommendation. Anyway, the procedure is cumbersome.
In addition to parents-led, voluntary pre-school gifted class exams, children who have attended school take exams at school every year. Those who fail will be removed from the genius program, and those who pass the exam will join the genius program. Junior high school will begin to re-take the qualification examination, and those who fail the examination will also be eliminated.
As mentioned earlier, the requirements of the genius program vary greatly in different parts of the United States. In some areas, the gifted program has no special courses, but only gathers gifted children together every week to take some extra courses. In some areas, gifted students use the same textbooks as ordinary classes, but the requirements are slightly different. In other schools, children in gifted classes advocate advanced education, with tight homework and frequent exams.
The above simply lists the standards of American gifted juvenile classes. It is suggested that the questioner provide the age and area of the child in order to sit in the right position better.
