[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lack of a formal program in DC for advanced students is very discouraging. OP should be able to go to the DCPS web site and tap right into information about a G&T/aap/etc. program. Instead, we trade bits of info anonymously like it's an underground black market for pre-algebra (or whatever).[/quote]

DCPS has a division of advanced and enriched instruction within its office of teaching and learning. There is indeed a section on the dcps website about it where you can find information. They support the SEM programs that are at a dozen DCPS middle and elementary schools as well as provided resources and training to schools to work with advanced students. They don't call it GT though. This office is the one that also provides schools with Junior Great Books, M-Squared and M-Cubed enrichment math programs. To paraphrase the website, SEM (Schoolwide Enrichment Model) a nontraditional approach to gifted education is at West, Murch, JO Wilson, Stoddert, HD Cooke, Burrville, Hardy, Stuart-Hobson, Johnson, Kelly Miller, Sousa and Hearst. All of these schools has a trained SEM resource teacher or a trained SEM coordinator. [/quote]
