Program Description

AAMP provides one component of the Basic Educational Program in the Salt Lake City School District. Students who are academically noticeable in their environment in the top three grade levels of each elementary school are selected through a battery of tests to participate in specialized curriculum and instruction. They are pulled out of their general education classrooms and work with a certified teacher who has a gifted and talented endorsement.

Grade Level Goals and Objectives

AAMP curriculum extends from the Utah State Core Curriculum, with added depth, complexity, abstraction, and novelty. AAMP also offers opportunities for academic peer association, appropriate pacing, and authentic products.

Salt Lake City School District’s AAMP program provides specialized educational services for identified gifted and high ability elementary school students. Applications for magnet AAMP testing will be available on the AAMP Website.
