GT+Program+Documents

As part of our continued efforts to make our Talents program the best it can be, Molly Smith and I continued to work on screening and identification. This is the first year (trial run!) of our new portfolio inclusive process. In the service of refining our procedures, we have generated more forms. Rather than cut and paste all our new material here, I will provide you with hard copy. This year's GT plan for the state, with its necessary inclusion of social studies, science, and the arts, also provoked some thinking and rethinking. Molly and I will meet informally this summer to hammer out some ideas. An opportunity, let's say, as we'll be providing assistance/services with the same old 1.5 staff people. (When one of them is Molly, it does feel more like 6! Speaking of which, I did spearhead a MEGAT Teacher of the Year nomination for Molly, which feels good no matter what happens next! Portfolio of letters from Betsy Lane, Linda Cote, Jenny Jorgensen and yours truly available upon request! I think you have seen the jolly visual bonus material.)
