Working to fill the gap of "Missingness" by providing professional development that is changing stereotypes and creating a mindshift in how we are  identifying our Talented and Gifted Students.

• Goal is 5-10% of your population is identified for the purpose of receiving services to foster growth through addressing strengths and needs.

• Increase number of underrepresented populations (culturally and linguistically diverse, twice exceptional, students experiencing poverty, historically and currently marginalized populations, including civil rights protected classes.)

• Removing assessment/score-based ONLY identification practices.

• Social-emotional implications make it difficult to identify.

Ontario School District TAG Plan 

Ontario School District is committed to providing a quality education for all students, including typically underrepresented populations. We recognize the wide variations that exist among the gifted and strive to meet their needs. Our goal is to ensure that the gifted learner is stimulated and challenged throughout the school day by means of  differentiated instruction that may include advanced content, flexible pacing, higher order thinking skills, research, projects, and/or materials appropriate for the student’s learning
