Gifted children exist in every classroom and therefore every teacher in the 21st century must be prepared to meet the needs of these high-ability students. This session outlines and discusses a team-teaching model that was successfully implemented when a gifted/math specialist worked daily with a first grade teacher to enhance and differentiate the math curriculum. The success of this program translated to a variety of schoolwide initiatives resulting in increased student achievement. The findings and strategies used to implement such a program are presented from the perspective of an administrator, a classroom teacher, and a gifted/math specialist.
