Classroom Teacher Testing Information
Each year you will be asked to refer students for the gifted program. It is sometimes very difficult to know who to refer if you aren't familiar with what being "gifted " really means. Perhaps, you have an identified gifted student in your class and you're searching for ways to keep him/her busy, or just searching to better understand the student's behavior. Whatever the reasons, I am so glad you're here. Please, take a few minutes to search through the resources below. Thank you for caring enough to find out more about our gifted children. They may or may not demonstrate it, but they need you. They need someone to care enough to provide differentiated instruction, provide understanding, and to provide acceptance. Take a look, I promise it will be worth your time. -- I am always here to help.... **If you have a student you would like to refer, please print out the Teacher Recommendation above, fill it out and send it to me via email or put it in my mailbox. I will send home a permission slip for testing as soon as possible. Thanks so much for your help!
