identification process of screening and selecting gifted students in
grades K-12 based on multiple and specific criteria (both qualitative
and quantitative) through the use of a selection committee.
- Through the use of
rigorous and challenging curriculum, provide gifted and talented
students the opportunity to develop individual interests and abilities.
- Foster higher level thinking skills, develop intellectual curiosity in critical, creative and productive thinking.
- Develop problem solving strategies, inquiry, and research skills independently and as part of a group.
- Provide
ongoing appropriate training and staff development opportunities for
administrators, counselors and teachers involved in serving the needs of
gifted and talented students
New students who were identified for the
gifted program in their prior district may be referred for screening
upon their enrollment in the district. Parents of students eligible for
