How are children identified for the Gifted and Talented Program?
There is quite a bit of differentiation that goes on in each classroom to make sure each child is challenged to his/her full potential. We also conduct regular screening activities to try and identify those students who might qualify for our Gifted and Talented program. Students who pass the screening level are assessed further, and the information is then presented to a committee to determine if the child meets the district criteria for the program. Students who are identified as Gifted and Talented are placed with a teacher who has G/T certification, and also receives weekly services through our district’s G/T itinerant teacher.
