Our district has a GT program - about 1000 kids total - k-12. ( I wish it were a better, stronger one, but it is there.)
Our district has such a program, as well. It's smoke and mirrors. The program serves them in the regular classroom. [That's a joke.] Teachers have to have 30 hours of basic training to teach them, plus 6 hours [I think it's 6] per year thereafter. This is just my opinion [as a classroom teacher], but I believe the program doesn't really serve them well at all. It does, however allow schools to say that they have a GT program.
