Is the GATE (gifted and talented education) program the same as the honors program?

Question

If not, what is the difference?

Answer 1

similar but not quite.

similarities: challenges and stimulates, extra work involved, and involves success in college.

differences:
honors: anyone can be in honors as long as they can handle the workload and do not get below a C-. Honor classes and AP classes affect high school GPA and tend to be more challenging in the particular course compared to regular classes.

GATE: must be tested to enter a GATE program. its extra work that does not pertaining to a single subject. regular students can be in GATE programs as well but most GATE students are in honors or APs. GATE is just a program that offers more stimulation and learning for children who are smart or have an above average IQ.

hope i helped a bit.

Answer 2

GATE is the gifted program in many schools and you get into GATE based on your IQ.

You can get into Honors classes based on your academic performance. Your IQ may not be at the gifted level, but you work your butt off and get good grades and therefore are eligible to take honors level classes.

Answer 3

TAG is a program that includes activities and extracurriculars not found in the honors program curriculae of most schools. The honors programs usually consist of college preparatory classes and advanced placement classes. In high school, one should opt to fulfill the requirements necessary to graduate with honors. In the lower grades, one should take advantage of both programs as long as one has the energy and willpower to complete the work.

Answer 4

If your grades are high enough, you can get in honors classes.

To get into GT classes, you have to score over 130 on an IQ test that the school administers (usually) or you can pay a private psychologist to administer the test.

You can ask your school to give you an IQ test, but it will take like 6 months to get the results.

i'm informed i could qualify as a experienced student yet I even have in no way lots as heard the term reported contained in the college the place i pass. although I stay in eire and G and T would not look an element of the vocabulary contained in the slightest... In answer on your question, I do have confidence that being in training which at the instant are not separated in accordance to intelligence benefitted me socially. although, to quote an internet site concerning to gifted infants (can no longer undergo in techniques the call...) "severe questioning skills have been dulled over the years by employing being in an environment the place it somewhat is o.k. to do the minimum to get by employing." I do have confidence that i could have been extra challenged and could now truthfully be able to perchance looking studying interesting if G and T exchange into attainable. because of the fact I do only no longer difficulty interpreting frequently as i do no longer could desire to get a hundred% . . . who does? Btw, does absolutely everyone comprehend no count if it somewhat is utilized in eire? Or do I only stay contained in the decrease back of beyonds?

Answer 6

No, I was in GTC (my district's equivalent of GATE) in elementary school, then honors in high school (just regular in middle school because the school was tiny).

GTC was more about expanding the kinds of learning than about going in-depth. For example, we researched censorship and then held debates between the two classes, pros and cons. We also learned a smattering of introductory piano, and every day we did about 15 minutes of brain teasers and memory excercises. We learned about cultures that our regular social studies program didn't cover, and did reports on what it may have been like to be a Jew in WWII.
We did introductory math and science, too... basic work with gases, magnets, the body, and some geometry and algebra. The teacher gave a demonstration on electroplating, we learned to count by different bases, and we played a lot of Krypto and Set. We also mashed up breakfast cereal and used a magnet to get as much iron as we could.

High school honors was a lot different. We covered more material in a lesser amount of time. I took honors algebra and we did about twice as much homework as our "regular" peers. I also took Honors U.S. Lit and History, which entailed many group presentations (fun skits), including full length (ie, hour long) American Idol-like presentation of the civil war. In that class, we also spent 7 months working on our term papers, and mine ended up being 35 pages (I was a sophomore). I also took honors chemistry, wherein we covered everything from nuclear chemistry to biochemistry, and did a lab and writeup about every week. In my junior year, I took AP Bio, which was a ton of work as we went very in-depth to almost every aspect of biology that you could think of, and did about one experiment and very detailed writeup per month. I didn't take honors in my senior year, but I did do two very in-depth science courses, and comprehensive lit, latin, and math.

So, basically, GTC is broadening one's horizons and honors/AP is to deepen one's knowledge of specific areas. Also, I got into GTC based on the reccomendation of my teachers due to my high scores in the classroom and on standardized tests. And there were only about 150 GTC kids in the entire district. Anyone can take honors/AP, and in my school you didn't even have to have a specific GPA or teacher reccomendation. All you had to do was sign up and show up; there was no class limit either.

Answer 7

No. GATE: Is extra stuff for gifted and talented such as activities.
Honors is higher level classes and subjects.
