it is HOW you are smart."

G/T Instructional Seminars are designed to extend student interests beyond general exploratory experiences. Students develop a broad range of advanced-level skills in preparation for in-depth study and creation of a product on a chosen interest.
G/T Resource Teachers provide advanced-level instruction and schedule these opportunities for interested students. Skill development might include written, oral, and visual communication skills, critical and creative thinking skills, research skills, technology skills, and skills in visual and performing arts.
Television Production, Middle School Book Club, and the Debate seminars are offered in each of the school system’s middle schools. Additional seminars are offered, such as journalism, environmental studies, robotics, creative problem solving, film production, and leadership, based upon the interests of the students at the school. Teachers, students, or parents may nominate students to participate in an instructional seminar, as they are open to all students based upon student interest.
These seminars are offered every year: book club, debate, and television production.
Other seminars offered at ELMS vary year-to-year according to student interest.
