Critical Action to Ensure Equity and Excellence

"Foster Academic Talent Development"

In alignment with North Carolina's fourth critical action towards Equity and Excellence, the DPS Office of Advanced Academics is committed to "cultivate potential in students whose strengths are not yet tapped or readily observable in typical classroom environments, in addition to serving students who are already demonstrating high performance. We must provide intentional efforts that bring out and develop a student’s strengths and talents.

Why?

By fostering talent development, we will ensure that all students have opportunities to grow and experience learning environments that are not dependent on their background or economic means.

How?

Create learning environments where teachers are able to observe student strengths and recognize potential.
Respond by developing a student’s strengths through intentional learning experiences in various domains.
Provide early intervention and development opportunities to maximize potential."
