HUSD GATE
SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION! -
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
[ Our goal in HUSD is to provide learning experiences in and out of the traditional classroom that help reveal our students' gifts. ]
gifted & talented definition
The National Society for the Gifted and Talented suggests that there are three ways in which giftedness manifests.
Talent – Students can have the raw talent to overperform in one or more domains. The National Association for Gifted Children specifies five domains where children may demonstrate their talent: intellectual, creative, artistic, leadership, and academic domains.
Performance – Students should demonstrate the ability to draw upon their raw talent to perform at impressive levels in one or more domains.
Comparative – Students should have their performance compared against their peers to reveal whether that performance is significantly better than other students.
Student identification for GATE
Due to the pandemic, formal GATE assessments have been suspended. We are in the process of piloting new GATE assessments to replace the previously used CogAT. If you are interested in participating in the pilot program, or have suggestions, please email, kpopper@husd.us.
Students are referred by educators using the GATE recommendation packet and then forwarded to the district GATE office along with a GATE Review Team approval form. Alternately, you may complete the recommendation using Google Forms.
