I thought this gave a lot of great ideas for your classroom. I am not sure it was geared towards high school students as much as I would’ve liked but still some great ideas that could be elaborated on for older students.

I thought the strategies used to reach the GT child, really any child, would be worth trying in the classroom. The more relevance, choices, and differentiation we can provide as teachers, we would reach our goals to keep their curiosity thriving.
