Gifted Talented Services for students in the Intermediate grades who have been formally identified receive the following service options:
Pullout services with the Gifted Talented Resource Teacher at least once a week for students identified for General Intellect.
Differentiated Instruction in the regular classroom by student’s teacher.
Independent Projects offered by their regular classroom teacher or Gifted/Talented Resource teacher.
Students who are identified in a specific subject are served in the regular classroom as well as pull-out services at least once a week.
Teachers differentiate to meet that child’s need in that subject area by giving them more rigorous assignments, and choices in products.
Students are also clustered group at certain times in the day to meet their individual needs (depending on the subject for which they are identified.) For example, this may include during literature circle time (advanced reading) or small groups in Math.
Students nominated in these areas are invited to attend special sessions that focus on either the art, music, drama, dance. The Specials Teachers may provide enrichment opportunities during their regular class time.
Differentiated Opportunities are also offered for students in the arts. These opportunities present themselves mostly in product choice, in that students may choose to perform a skit, write a song, do a dance as ways of showing what they learned.
Students who are nominated in Leadership are pulled out periodically to meet with the Gifted Talented Resource Teacher. Leadership opportunities could include acting as Safety Patrol, helping with Grandparent’s Day, a charity based giving project, and other school events.
Differentiated Opportunities present themselves for leadership students in small group settings, classroom projects, and student government.
Formal Identification will occur in middle school. (See Leadership Identification Process)
Students identified in Creativity will be invited to attend 1-2 workshops led by the Gifted talented Resource Teacher to enhance their giftedness.
Differentiated Opportunities present themselves for creativity students in classroom assignments and projects.
