Considerations when applying for the Gifted and Talented Program
When deciding if the GT Program is the right fit for your student, there are several important things to keep in mind. We encourage you to review characteristics of a "Bright Child" versus a "Gifted Learner," and to contact us with any questions you have about the referral process.

A Bright Child... | knows the answers | is interested | is attentive | has good ideas | works hard | answers the questions | top group | listens with interest | learns with ease | 6-9 repetitions for mastery | understands ideas | enjoys peers | grasps the meaning | completes assignments | is receptive | copies accurately | enjoys school | absorbs information | technician | good memorizer | enjoys sequential presentation | is alert | is pleased with own learning |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A Gifted Learner... | asks the questions | is highly curious | is mentally and physically involved | has wild, silly ideas | play around, yet tests well | discusses in detail, elaborates | beyond the group | shows strong feelings and opinions | already knows | 1-2 repetitions for mastery | constructs abstractions | prefers adults | draws inferences | initiates projects | is intense | creates a new design | enjoys learning | manipulates information | inventor | good guesser | thrives on complexity | is keenly observant | is highly self-critical |
