Good morning! My name is Mr. Ross. My son is Robert and I'm here to meet about him being identified as gifted.
Hello, how are you? I'm Principal McWatkins. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Nice to meet you too! I was really excited to hear the news about Robert. Can you explain to me what let you know that he was gifted?
Sure, I would love too! Robert has a keen power of abstraction, shows great ability in problem solving and applying concepts, and has a diversity of interests and abilities.
I would love to learn more about giftedness. What does the gifted education program entail? How does it help Robert develop his learning abilities?
That sounds like a fantastic opportunity! I am very excited for Robert. My only concern is, won't he miss his assignments from his general education class?
Great question! Robert's homeroom and Reading teachers will allow Robert additional time to complete any assignments he misses while in the gifted classroom.
At Choices in Learning, our gifted students are placed into a gifted education class once a week. In this class, they receive the opportunity to work collaboratively with like-minded peers and challenge themselves academically.
That is excellent news!
His general education teachers will also ensure that he is challenged appropriately in their classes by providing him with enrichment activities in which he can extend his learning.
Thank you so much for your time and support. I appreciate you explaining CIL's gifted program to me. I am very pleased that Robert will have this opportunity.
My pleasure! Please reach out to me if you have any additional questions!
