- This is an opportunity to share general information with you about the G/T Program. If you would like to discuss questions related to individual situations or individual student progress, I would be happy to schedule a conference with you at a later time.
- The HCPSS Gifted & Talented Education Program is aligned with the: National gifted education standards established by the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) National content standards Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) learning outcomes HCPSS Bridge to Excellence Comprehensive Plan.
- The HCPSS G/T Program has more than a twenty year history of talent development. The original program was modeled on Joseph Renzulli’s Schoolwide Enrichment Model developed in the 1980’s. The program has grown and evolved with the generous support of the school system, the Board of Education, and the community. We now have at least 1.5 gifted education specialist positions in every elementary school in the county. At the secondary level there is one G/T resource teacher and 2 G/T content teachers at every school.
- The design of the program components allows students to engage in ascending levels of intellectual challenge to help them grow from consumers of knowledge to producers of original knowledge. General exploratory experiences are part of the school culture now and are part of every student’s educational experience. These include guest speakers, field trips, cultural arts programs, etc. that help to spark students’ interest in a wide variety of topics. In Renzulli’s School Enrichment Model, these experiences were referred to as Type I activities. G/T resource teachers at every school provide advanced-level instruction to students through G/T Mathematics, G/T Curriculum Extension Units, and G/T Instructional Seminars. These offerings provide the “how-to” skills and advanced-level content to prepare students for advanced-level courses in middle and high school. These offerings were referred to as Type II experiences in the Renzulli model. The highest level of differentiation offered for advanced-level students at the elementary level are G/T Research Investigations and Creative Productions. These year-long offerings allow students to design their own learning experience on a topic of great interest to them. The students identify a real-world problem or area of personal talent that they would like to develop through advanced-level research. They work with an expert advisor to develop a product that is shared with an authentic audience. You may be familiar with Renzulli’s Type III investigations.
- These four goals are the foundation of the 5-year G/T Strategic Plan for HCPSS. They are designed to meet the needs of our students, the community, and our staff - all elements essential to guarantee the success of our students.
- HCPSS program is very inclusive in philosophy. Approximately 20% of the student population in grades 4 & 5 participate in the G/T Mathematics Program. Approximately 30% of the student population in grades 2-5 participate in the G/T Curriculum Extension Units and G/T Instructional Seminars.
- Students do not skip any mathematics content, but rather cover 4 years of mathematics objectives in two years at an accelerated pace. The G/T resource teacher provides the student’s entire mathematics instruction on a daily basis. CogAT is the test given in grade 3 for participation in 4th and 5th grade math, and in 5th grade for participation in middle school classes. Beyond the eligibility range for participation, placement is based on achievement test scores (MAP, PARCC) and student performance. Although G/T Math is not offered until 4th grade, grades 1- 3 offer accelerated mathematics one year above grade level. (ex. - 3rd grade students working on 4th grade objectives) Students who successfully complete G/T Math in grades 4 & 5 are eligible for G/T Math in middle school - 6th grade Prealgebra G/T and 7th grade Algebra I/Data Analysis G/T. Students can complete courses offerings through Differential Equations in high school. (You may want to provide a handout or show an overhead of the secondary mathematics flowchart.)
- Students do not skip any mathematics objectives, but rather cover 4 years of mathematics objectives in two years at an accelerated pace. The G/T resource teacher provides the student’s entire mathematics instruction on a daily basis. Testing involves a combination of mathematics achievement (MSA) and ability(SCAT) measures to determine an eligibility score. We also have a placement review process that allows us to look beyond test scores to daily performance. Although G/T Math is not offered until 4th grade, grades 1- 3 offer accelerated mathematics one year above grade level. (ex. - 3rd grade students working on 4th grade objectives) Students who successfully complete G/T Math in grades 4 & 5 are eligible for G/T Math in middle school - 6th grade Prealgebra G/T and 7th grade Algebra I/Data Analysis G/T. Students can complete courses offerings through Differential Equations in high school. (You may want to provide a handout or show an overhead of the secondary mathematics flowchart.)

- Rigorous, interdisciplinary units with strong advanced-level reading and writing components. The topics extend from HCPSS Curriculum Students are selected for participation in these units based on multiple criteria such as classroom performance, responses during a talent spotting lesson, report card grades, teacher recommendations, student work samples, demonstrated passion for the particular topic, etc. Students may participate in one or more of the units based on their needs. No report card grades are assigned. However, the grades from various assignments from the unit may be incorporated into the report card grade.
- Each of the units incorporates these components into the instruction as applicable for the particular topic. The format was adapted from the College of William & Mary curriculum model for gifted students. The advanced-level skills taught in the units serve as building blocks for more advanced levels of coursework at the secondary level.
- The units shown are a sampling of the offerings at all elementary schools. The units on the left represent a strand of humanities offerings that incorporate geography skills, both physical and cultural. The units on the right represent Math/Science offerings. The G/T resource teacher will offer additional units based on current events and the students’ needs.
- Purpose is to develop talent in areas of student interest & to provide advanced-level skills instruction .Give examples of STEM and literary Iss.
