[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP: How would TAG work for a kid who is very smart but has trouble staying focused and working independently? (DC is 2e). [/quote] We have a 2E kid who is in TAG pull out for Math and English. The teachers are good and the kids are smart, and he would be so bored if in regular class, which is a whole other set of problems. I'm not sure there's any more independent work than the regular class (elementary). And if DC qualifies for TAG and on an IEP, supports should be in place no matter what class DC is in. Overall, we've been pleased with the TAG route. We asked about differentiation for social studies and science. We could have done the TAG eval route, but ended up just working with the classroom teacher to differentiate. I think for a gifted child, boredom is really the enemy. So 2e or not, whatever you can do to keep them challenged and engaged is key. Build in supports around the academics. [/quote]
