Gifted & Talented

Image result for gifted and talented


At Slater Elementary, part of our mission is to meet the needs of all our students. Our advanced learners are challenged within the classroom by their homeroom teacher.

Each student that has been formally identified as a Gifted and Talented student, will write two goals. One is an academic goal and one is an affective goal. These goals are collaboratively developed with the student, family members, and the teacher. 

Each year 2nd Grade students in Jeffco take the CogAT test (Cognitive Abilities Test) in the Fall Semester. This assessment measures reasoning skills in three batteries: verbal, nonverbal and quantitative. The results help teachers identify a student's reasoning and problem solving skills to better meet their instructional needs in the classroom.

DOES YOUR GIFTED STUDENT STRUGGLE WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING? 

  
Homework (completing, turning in, forgetting details, procrastinating)
Grades (lower than expected, do not reflect ability)  
Organization (schoolwork or at home)  
Time management (late work, unrealistic perception of time needed to complete a task)   
Details (doesn’t follow teacher rubrics, not reading directions, not checking work)   
Preparation (forgets materials needed for class, practice, etc)   
Advocacy (doesn’t ask for help, clarification, doesn’t use teacher as a resource) 
Focus (can’t pay attention to one single thing, easily distracted)

If so, then there’s a good chance they are struggling with EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING.  Seth Perler will be sharing tips and strategies for parents/caregivers to help you understand the basics of Executive Functioning (EF) and how it is related specifically to gifted and twice-exceptional students.  From creating a home study environment, to organizing a desk or backpack, to digital strategies and tools, Seth can guide you through the process of creating practical structures to support your student both in school, and at home.
