The Dawson County Gifted Program vision is to be an exemplary gifted program as we advocate for and meet the needs of each gifted child.
Program Goals:
To identify gifted students of all grade levels using a variety of means which recognize all forms of exceptionality
To use information gained during the assessment process to identify specific areas of strength and interest
To provide instructional opportunities in those areas of strength and interest revealed during the assessment process
Curriculum Goals:
Our gifted curriculum will provide opportunities for identified students to:
Achieve proficiency in areas and disciplines of the prescribed district gifted curriculum;
Excel in areas of individual interest or study, develop creative products, and share results of these studies with the appropriate audiences;
Learn to make informed decisions and integrate processes of thinking to resolve issues both cooperatively and independently;
Demonstrate personal growth through the development of positive attitudes, leadership skills, and community and cultural involvement;
Develop skills to become an effective communicator using various forms of media; and
Develop self-awareness in order to learn to cope with their weaknesses, to explore and appreciate their strengths, and to see oneself as acceptable.
