[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any info on the CES teachers and how they are selected? We just went to the virtual opening house this week and there were a few flags for me. I don't want to go into them because I get that what qualifies as flags for me do not mean she isn't a good fit for gifted education, but in general I would love some reassurance that the teachers are selected for this because of either aptitude or education for gifted kids...[/quote]

It seems to be a mixed bag, but I know at least two of the four teachers at OVES are in the process (or maybe just completed) their Master's in Gifted Education and JHU. They were very adorably doing the program at the same time. [/quote]

Oh, that is great! Kids probably benefited so much from that, too. This is at Stonegate and so if anyone in the interwebs has any insight about the CES 4th grade teacher, I would love to hear it...5th grade teach seemed awesome.[/quote]

It's really great. I can't speak to how their expertise translated to the academics versus a teacher with different training, but I can tell you that their understanding of the "baggage" that comes with some gifted kids was really amazing, the best my kid had in their MCPS career to date. [/quote]

Oh wow, that really is super. Actually, one of my flags (again, please no one flame me) was when I asked her about how she approaches social/emotional support in the class she said if the kid "needs it, we have a counselor"...which was just bizarre and not at all what i was asking about...gifted kids, in my experience, have a full range of emotional oddities and i assumed that would be a part of the curriculum or program...[/quote]
