[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It depends on how you look at it. I’m still processing and trying to visualize what it will actually look like, pitfalls, etc. If the plan moves forward [b]it would make gifted identification all but irrelevant in middle school[/b] since intensified classes would be open enrollment. As a parent with a gifted id’d middle schooler, I like the tentative plan for the transition year (next year), which is to increase the number of gifted kids in a cluster from 5-8 to 10-15 (not sure of the exact numbers, but in that ballpark). After next year they would institute the intensified classes.[/quote] Many parents would say it already is irrelevant with the exception of math. There is so little actual indication that meaningful push-in is being provided for the GT kids. Offering intensified classes makes more challenging work available to any student. Kids who aren't identified and want the challenge. Kids who are identified and need the challenge.[/quote]
