Columbine provides an equitable, fun, personalized-learning environment, creating a strong foundation for the academic and social-emotional success of all students. A .25 GT teacher (one day per week) supports teachers to adapt instruction to meet the academic and social-emotional needs of gifted learners through professional development and consultation. The GT teacher conducts universal screenings for kinder and 2nd grade, administers additional assessments, and uses multiple data sources to equitably identify GT and Talent Pool students. Talent Pool students have demonstrated an advanced ability, but do not yet meet the criteria to be identified as GT. Advanced students from groups that are historically underrepresented in GT are encouraged to engage in academic challenges within the classroom. To address disparities in GT identification, we pursue a variety of GT identification pathways. The GT teacher collaborates with students, families, and teachers to develop and progress monitor Advanced Learning Plans for all GT students. Depending on teacher/student need and as time allows, the GT teacher leads pull-out and/or push-in groups in students’ area(s) of strength to support higher order thinking skills and social emotional learning. All Columbine families learn about GT opportunities through the school’s family newsletter. Families are encouraged to advocate for their child’s needs.
