Published coverageK-12
Published processAnyone may nominate a student through the district referral process. The annual cycle collects parent or home ratings and teacher evidence, then uses verbal, quantitative and nonverbal assessment evidence. A trained G/T committee reviews the quantitative and qualitative record and determines whether G/T placement is the appropriate service setting.
Published modelIdentified students are placed with a G/T-trained teacher for differentiated instruction in their area of giftedness based on need and readiness. Elementary campus guidance also describes biweekly support-teacher work in critical thinking, problem solving and STEM projects. Secondary students can use advanced academic pathways, with course availability and prerequisites varying by campus.
