Empowering Gifted & Talented students to explore their passions and potential, embrace their abilities and unique giftedness, and thrive in a future they create.

GT Services:
As the Gifted & Talented Facilitator at Lewisville Elementary , my main role is to provide services to identified Gifted/Talented students through individualized instruction that focuses on LISD's Gifted & Talented Capacities: Self-Awareness, Communication, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, Research, and Leadership.
Additional Services:
Enrichment:
I provide Enrichment classes for students based on assessment data and teacher input.
Planned Experiences - Grades K-2:
I enjoy visiting Kindergarten through 2nd Grade classrooms multiple times throughout the school year to conduct Planned Experiences. Planned experiences are pre-arranged activities that are completed individually by the students after a whole group lesson. The results of Planned Experiences can show the possibility of a student possessing GT attributes. Further testing will determine qualification and entry into GT Services.
