[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe kids are loosely identified by their teachers (or parents...) early on, but aren't officially assessed for gifted services until 2nd grade. My kid qualified last year in 2nd, but I haven't seen/heard anything yet for 3rd. Always possible that they are getting something extra, but I'm just not aware of it.[/quote] Yes, I think this is the general process for identification. It's a push-in model, more info here. https://www.apsva.us/gifted-services/services-by-school-level/elementary-school/ To my knowledge my kid doesn't know they're identified as gifted. I have no idea how the gifted resource teacher is introduced. I also have no idea if the resource teacher does the extra lessons for the whole class, or just works with the cluster of gifted kids, or maybe both. My kid was identified early and I get the sense that the resource teacher did whole class enrichment lessons for the early grades, but don't really know.[/quote]
