Gifted and Talented
Castleberry ISD provides an array of learning
opportunities that are appropriately differentiated and substantive in
grades K-12 and are linked meaningfully to the core content areas of
language arts, math, science and social studies.
Goals:
-
Implement an ongoing 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 screening should contact
the school counselor upon enrollment.
