QUEST Curriculum for Grades 2 to 5

In Bulloch County, gifted students in second through fifth-grades will be served using the state approved Resource Model (QUEST). Students will receive a minimum of five segments of gifted service a week from a gifted endorsed teacher.

In order to serve students for a minimum of five segments per week, gifted students are pulled out of their regular content classes to attend the QUEST class one day per week. The QUEST curriculum for each grade level is based on Georgia's Gifted Standards.

Students will develop advanced research strategies, problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Lessons are designed to promote the development of advanced vocabulary and communication skills. The curriculum should be rigorous, multi-disciplined, and rich in content. The elementary QUEST curriculum is designed to:

Provide extension opportunities to develop 21st century skills
Provide a challenging curriculum beyond core content while supporting recent implementation of the Georgia Standards of Excellence
Provide an intentional focus on developing creative and critical thinking skills through creative writing and problem-solving
Address social/emotional needs of gifted learners through service oriented problem-based learning projects
