Gifted and Talented Referrals
Things to consider before referring a student: ● Is this student really above his/her peers, not just a good student? ● Have I had a continued conversation with my child’s teacher to share ideas/concerns/opinions about possible consideration for placement? ● Can this student keep up in his/her regular class work while missing class time to attend G.T. class and activities? ● Is this student an independent worker (our G.T./AP/Pre AP programs require independent, advanced work. Students must be able to self-motivate while working in their area of study…do they desire the extra opportunities?) ● Not all students in G.T. will have all A’s, and not all “All A” students will qualify for G.T services. ● A student can be “twice exceptional” meaning they can be low in one area and very high in another. These students should not be overlooked when referring for evaluation. ● Visit http://gt.conwayschools.org/ to complete a referral form or click the link below:
