This is a school-wide enrichment model, which supports gifted students while providing school-wide enhanced support.
While the traditional definition of "gifted student" is focused on higher than average academic outcomes, according to the SEM methodology gifted students are defined as students embracing 3  areas of strenghts: 1) academic ability; 2) creativity; 3) drive and commitment.  This means that students showing drive and commitment or creativity , but not there yet on academic performance, can receive enhanced academic support to make it to the "gifted" threshold. 
The above mentioned teachers can tell you how the SEM is applied at Hardy, and the benefits it is showing for the different range of kids. My child was very strong academically, but very rigid and textbook oriented. His capability to put his skills at work beyond textbook assignments and his horizons have been incredibly magnified by Ms Whitty's classes. [/quote]
