What the evidence confirms
Gifted Education
Madison City provides a K–12 continuum combining consultation, teacher collaboration, concept- and problem-based pull-out learning, social-emotional support, and advanced secondary courses.
How services work: K–2 receives consultation; general educators collaborate with gifted staff across grades; grades 3–5 use pull-out curriculum; grades 6–12 use advanced courses, including inquiry-based gifted electives in middle school.
How students are identified: All second graders receive Child Find observations and eliciting lessons. Students in grades 3–5 may be referred at any time by school staff, families, peers, themselves, or another knowledgeable person; the screening team reviews assessments, work samples, and behavior scales.
