Gifted and Talented GT
What is GT (Gifted and Talented)?
The purpose of the program is to challenge students who have been identified as gifted and talented in reading and/or math, which means scoring at the 95th percentile on three state approved assessments. In District 11, we also serve tier-2 students, who score at the 85th percentile or higher in reading and/or math. Gifted and Talented education is required by state law in every Colorado school district.
What does GT look like at Carver?
Students are pulled out and serviced by Irma Valerio-Garcia, Carver's GT teacher. They receive challenging activities in their identified talent area/s. Activities may include pre-algebra, drawing blueprints that incorporate volume and area and/or researching and creating a PowerPoint that displays data, solutions and personal recommendations to a specific world problem.
