“Gifted education is NOT an add-on for 90 minutes a week because gifted learners are gifted all the time.”
-Mary S. Landrum
Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) and advanced learners are served through the Elementary Talent Development (TD) Catalyst Model. The TD Catalyst Model is an inclusive framework for meeting the academic, social, and emotional needs of gifted, advanced, and at potential learners in CMS to maximize their potential. Gifted education is a shared partnership between TD teachers and classroom teachers. See our Advanced Studies website for more information.
