Referral Form
We encourage you to review characteristics of a gifted learner before clicking here for a copy of the GT student referral form. Please email Ms. Walker for more information, or with questions about the G/T Program.
When deciding if the GT Program is the right fit for your student, there are several important things to keep in mind. We encourage you to review characteristics of a "Bright Child" versus a "Gifted Learner," and to contact us with any questions you have about the referral process.
A Bright Child... | knows the answers | is interested | is attentive | has good ideas | works hard | answers the questions | top group | listens with interest | learns with ease | 6-9 repetitions for mastery | understands ideas | enjoys peers | grasps the meaning | completes assignments | is receptive | copies accurately | enjoys school | absorbs information | technician | good memorizer | enjoys sequential presentation | is alert | is pleased with own learning |

A Gifted Learner... | asks the questions | is highly curious | is mentally and physically involved | has wild, silly ideas | play around, yet tests well | discusses in detail, elaborates | beyond the group | shows strong feelings and opinions | already knows | 1-2 repetitions for mastery | constructs abstractions | prefers adults | draws inferences | initiates projects | is intense | creates a new design | enjoys learning | manipulates information | inventor | good guesser | thrives on complexity | is keenly observant | is highly self-critical |
