6th Grade G/T Research-this class is designed for 6th grade students who participate in three or more G/T content area classes. Participating students receive instruction in advanced-level research skills. This class provides a framework for students to become producers of knowledge as they apply the research skills they have learned to an original investigation in a self-selected area of study. Enrollment occurs at the end of 5th grade. There is a limited number of student participants and eligible students are selected on a first come, first serve basis.

Students develop a broad range of advanced-level skills that might include written, oral, visual, communication skills, critical and creative thinking skills, research skills, technology skills, and skills in visual and performing arts.
