Why Are We Here?
 Tonight’s meeting is a compliance measure for
parents of state certified gifted students.
 Each year a DEP(Differentiated Education Plan)
form indicating academic and enrichment
opportunities offered to gifted children is filed
in the cumulative folder.
 Let’s take a quick look at the DEP form…
What Does TD Look Like in
Middle School?
•Students are placed in classes based on
achievement.
•Most TD students qualify for honors
classes. (e.g. ELA 94% Honors, 6% S+)
•Honors/S+ classes focus on more rigorous
content and move at an accelerated pace.
