Description
A project was undertaken to identify and serve high-ability students in a high-poverty, high-minority public PK-8 school setting within a housing project in a large, urban district. The school had no gifted services in place beforehand. Implementation occurred in four parts: teacher education for in-class differentiation, student identification, summer programming, and parent education. Teacher education was provided with an on-site, graduate level course in gifted curriculum and instruction tailored for the school in which nearly all teachers participated. Student identification was conducted with a mixture of ability and performance measures. Experiences in implementation are shared.
