What is Talent Development (TD)?
Talent Development (TD) students are defined as being high performing students that show the potential for AIG identification and/or that have high performing characteristics. Using district guidelines, the SBCGE will use databased problem solving to make placement decisions and serve them with identified students. A student can be placed in TD in either reading and/or math depending on the student's strengths as indicated through the data discussion.
Talent Development Guidelines
No student can be nominated for Talent Development. First, students must have data that supports being referred for further AIG evaluation using the Portfolio Rubric.
If a student is referred and does not qualify for AIG, then the student is placed in Talent Development.
A student can be placed in Talent Development in either reading and/or math depending on the student’s strengths as indicated through the data discussion.
New student data is collected and reviewed three times a year for potential gifted identification.
Talent Development students must be served with the identified AIG students.
A student can be identified AIG in one subject and placed in Talent Development for the other subject.
What is Enrichment?
Enrichment offers weekly nurturing and enrichment services for our K-2 students who demonstrate a need for more advanced learning. These services are offered for both English Language Arts and Mathematics. These students are placed into the Nurturing program if selected by their current grade level professional learning team. These groups of students change many times throughout the year depending on each student's individual needs.
Enrichment Guidelines
Nominations are not required.
A student can receive enrichment for any subject area depending on the student’s strengths as indicated through teacher observations/data discussion.
