Planned Experiences - Grades K-2:
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.
