The Curriculum-based Extension Units (CEU's) are dedicated to expanding and accelerating the curriculum in the content areas of social studies and science. Students are identified for participation at the beginning of each unit by a committee including the classroom teacher and the enrichment team. Mutiple data points from formal and informal assessments are utilized during the identification process. These groups meet every day during the corresponding social studies or science unit during the content period. The GT teacher is the teacher of record for the content area during that quarter.
