Gifted Purpose & Goals
The Portrait of a Gifted Learner directs the MO-GLOs. The Portrait of a Gifted Learner includes six domains: Complex Reasoning, Creative Thinking, Affective Processing, Executive Functioning, Global Mindedness, and Communicating Effectively. To deepen understanding, these six domains are further broken down into three or four strands. The MO-GLOs are divided into four grade bands (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) and focus specifically on three of the six domains: Complex Reasoning, Creative Thinking, and Affective Processing. Global Mindedness, Communicating Effectively, and Executive Functioning are embedded within those three domains. Icons are utilized to help identify the embedded domains.
