Gifted Education Resource Teachers work with individual teachers to adapt the core curriculum for the gifted students in the classroom.
Adaptation includes advanced resources, materials and extensions of the core curriculum.
Gifted Education Resource Teachers provide and coordinate services for kindergarten through seventh grade students identified as gifted in the intellectual aptitude. Eighth grade identified students may participate in language arts, science, Algebra or Geometry, and foreign language classes that provide acceleration and enrichment in the curriculum. A member of the staff of each high school coordinates services for gifted students. Ongoing training is provided to all K-12 instructional personnel in specific techniques such as differentiation, characteristics of the gifted child, and identification procedures. Monthly staff meetings for the Gifted Education Resource Teachers offer an opportunity to share ideas and develop strategies based on research and assessment.
