Gifted & Talented Network

Overview

A great diversity exists among learners. The educational community has a responsibility to identify and develop the talents of children who are gifted and talented in the areas of general intellectual ability, specific academic ability, creativity, artistic ability and leadership. Many schools are struggling to meet these needs.

Gifted & Talented Network Objectives

• What process does your district and school use to identify the unique gifts and talents of students?
• How can we learn from each other in order to provide rich opportunities for our gifted and talented learners?
• Does your district’s plan address the seven key characteristics of an effective gifted education plan?
• What types of programs or opportunities does your district and school offer for gifted and talented students that are systemic, responsive, fluid, appropriate, collaborative, sustainable, and comprehensive?  How do they connect to core curriculum?
• What resources are available?
