What the evidence confirms
Gifted Program
Lee County differentiates gifted learning in content, process, products, and environment while providing comparable quality and duration across grade-level clusters.
How services work: Options include resource-room pull-out, content-area classes, seminars, independent study, dual enrollment, cluster grouping, and curriculum compacting, selected to match advanced learner needs.
How students are identified: Teachers, families, staff, peers, students, or others may refer; all second graders receive Child Find observation. A state matrix combines aptitude, a teacher behavior scale, and at least three performance indicators.
