Resources for Teachers & Parents
Jot Downs are documents that describe specific characteristics of Gifted Abilities. Feel free to print the jot downs and write down students' names when they display these abilities. Once a student is marked multiple times, this may be an indicator that a referral needs to be submitted.
Below is a clickable graphic (with a link for more info) for a comparison between High Achieving Students and Gifted Students. This will give you a better indicator of gifted student characteristics before completing a referral.
In the past, we created GT newsletters for BCPS teachers and others to learn about Gifted Education. Some of the archived newsletters can be found below. I've also included some of the Teaching Talk Newsletters that highlighted gifted articles that you may click to read.
