TALENT DEVELOPMENT

           Talent Development Guidelines

Our goal with the Talent Development Program is to provide an opportunity for high achieving students to develop gifted characteristics.

Through the process of data collection and analysis, intentional efforts are created to develop and cultivate the potential in high performing students whose strengths are not yet tapped or readily observable.  Talent development efforts produce strength-based learning opportunities where teachers can observe and collect data for the purpose of gifted identification.  

Talent Development Students

Talent Development students must have gone through the 3D Process for AIG identification and have data that supports being referred. Talent Development students have a need for challenging and enriching opportunities.  These students should be on the cusp of identification, but do not qualify through an individual data point, such as standardized testing.

Talent Development Students will be served in the following ways:

• Talent Development Reading placed in an AIG Language Arts cluster class

• Extensions for the classroom during independent work time in Math/ELA class or schoolwide enrichment/remediation blocks (Canvas Course)

• Collaborate regularly with the teacher about the student’s additional instructional needs

  • Mrs. Barber & Mrs. Kibler meet weekly with Math and Language Arts teachers

• Flexible Grouping
