The district is evaluating gifted education and is creating a continuum of services for students grades K-12. If you have any input, please contact Cynthia Latimer at cllatimer@sd129.org or 301-5071. Current services are listed below.
Elementary
Currently, identified students are served using a cluster grouping service delivery model. Students are clustered in classrooms so that teachers are able to more effectively differentiate instruction. These students participate in enrichment activities, problem-based learning and select projects that enhance their learning. Enrichment activities
are designed to be an extension of the existing curriculum. These activities provide academic challenge.
Middle School
Identified students in the area of math are enrolled in an accelerated math class. Identified students in other areas are cluster grouped. Cluster grouping has the same components as is listed for elementary students.
High School
Programming for identified high school students is addressed via Advanced Placement and honors level classes.
Coordinators
Each building has a point of contact for gifted services – Gifted Coordinator.
