[2.A. Effectiveness Report on Gifted and Talented Program]
YOUR EFFECTIVENESS REPORT ON [INAUDIBLE].>> THANK YOU GUYS FOR LETTING ME COME AND SHARE WITH YOU SOME SPOTLIGHT ON OUR GIFTED & TALENTED PROGRAM.
I'M REGAN LANDERSON, AND I AM THE DISTRICT COORDINATOR FOR SOCIAL STUDIES AND GIFTED & TALENTED.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE THROUGH OUR GIFTED & TALENTED PROGRAM TRULY DO HELP CHALLENGE OUR GIFTED AND TALENTED STUDENTS ACADEMICALLY, SOCIALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY, AND HELP THEM TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
BUT AT FRENSHIP ISD, WE ALSO STRIVE TO BE LEADERS IN THE REGION AND IN THE STATE, IN THIS AREA OF EDUCATION.
I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU OUR WHY, SO IF YOU WOULD PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AND WE'VE GOT A VIDEO TO SHARE WITH.
>> IN GIFTED & TALENTED, WE ASK QUESTIONS.
>> DO YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH?
>> WE HAVE A STRONG SENSE OF JUSTICE.
>> WE WANT TO KNOW THE WHY BEHIND DECISIONS.
>> WE HAVE A VIVID IMAGINATION.
>> UNUSUAL SENSE OF HUMOR. [LAUGHTER].
>> DEEP THINKERS. [BACKGROUND]
>> WE ARE TODAY'S PROBLEM SOLVERS.
>> WE ARE GIFTED AND TALENTED.
>> WE ARE GIFTED AND TALENTED.
>> WE ARE GIFTED AND TALENTED.
>> WE ARE GIFTED AND TALENTED.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THAT WITH ME.
THAT REALLY IS THE WHY AT WHAT WE DO IN GIFTED AND TALENTED.
I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE SUCCESSES THAT WE HAD IN THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR.
TA PUT IN A NEW STATE PLAN FOR THE EDUCATION OF GIFTED AND TALENTED STUDENTS.
[NOISE] WE WERE ABLE TO MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS IN ITS FIRST YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION.
NEXT, WE ALSO BEEN MAKING SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF OUR GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAM.
I KNOW YOU'VE ALL BEEN PROVIDED WITH A COPY THE DISTRICT EFFECTIVENESS REPORT AND THERE ARE LOTS OF GRAPHS IN THERE TO SHOW YOU THE GAINS THAT WE'VE MADE IN THIS AREA.
[00:20:01]
WE WERE ABLE TO SEND 16 EDUCATORS TO THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR GIFTED CHILDREN.THEN IN TURN, THESE EDUCATORS CAME BACK TO FRENSHIP AND PRESENTED AT OUR GT SUMMIT ON JULY 21ST.
WE HAD OVER A 100 TEACHERS PARTICIPATE IN THAT TRAINING FROM FOUR DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
THAT WAS TIME WELL INVESTED TO GET TO GO TO THAT CONFERENCE.
AS YOU GUYS KNOW WE ADD SOME SPECIAL CHALLENGES IN 19-20, IN THE SPRINGTIME THOUGH WE DID MEET THE SURFACES OF OUR GIFTED AND TALENTED STUDENTS BY PROVIDING SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS TO THEM, BOTH ON THE ELEMENTARY TO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS, SO THAT WE CAN STILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SERVICES DURING THE REMOTE LEARNING TIME.
IN THE FALL AND IN THE SPRING OF THIS YEAR, COVID HAS CONTINUED TO IMPACT OUR DELIVERY OF GIFTED AND TALENTED INSTRUCTION BY NOT BEING ABLE TO MIX COHORTS OF STUDENTS.
SO THAT PRESENTED SOME TIME CONSTRAINTS AS WELL.
BUT OVERALL, I THINK THAT OUR GT TEACHERS HAVE REALLY RISEN TO THE OCCASION AND DONE A GREAT JOB OF SERVING THE NEEDS OF OUR GIFTED STUDENTS.
SO OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE IS THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE GAINS IN THE DEMOGRAPHIC REFLECTION BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS THAT IMPORTANT TO US, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO THE STATE THAT OUR PROGRAM BE REFLECTIVE OF THE FRENSHIP DISTRICT.
WE ALSO ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR TEACHERS HAVE INSTRUCTIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR GT STUDENTS.
IN THE PAST, A TEACHER JUST LEARNED THAT HIS OR HER STUDENT WAS GT.
NOW WE'VE IMPLEMENTED SOMETHING CALLED THE ORANGE OLDER PROGRAM FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
WHAT WE DO IS WE PROVIDE EVERY TEACHER IN ELEMENTARY WITH A FOLDER FOR EVERY GIFTED STUDENT THAT SAYS WHAT HE OR SHE QUALIFIES IN AND THEN PROVIDES ACTUAL CONCRETE INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES THAT WILL BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF THAT STUDENT.
IN SECONDARY, WE PROVIDE THIS ELECTRONICALLY, SO IT'S A BIG STEP FOR OUR PROGRAM TO DO THIS.
FINALLY, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT WE EXPAND COURSE OFFERINGS IN MIDDLE-SCHOOL TO INCLUDE GIFTED AND TALENTED DESIGNATED SLOTS FOR ALL FOUR CORE CONTENTS, NOT JUST MATH AND READING.
FINALLY, I'M EXCITED TO SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO HOLD OUR THIRD ANNUAL GT SUMMIT ON MAY 26TH.
WE ARE EXPECTING APPROXIMATELY 200-250 TEACHERS TO COME FROM FOUR DISTRICTS AROUND.
SO IT'S AN EXCITING TIME TO BE PART OF THE GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAM HERE IN FRENSHIP.
>> I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT THANK YOU, REGAN.
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU I'M GLAD THAT SHE IS A VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE SUBJECT IN A GOOD WAY.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I APPRECIATE ABOUT REGAN IS THAT I WOULD CITE THAT JULY MEETING THAT WE HAD THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST MEETING FACE TO FACE IN THE REGION, AND PROBABLY I WOULD SUSPECT IN THE STATE [NOISE].
I REALLY APPRECIATE REGAN'S WILLINGNESS TO HOST IT AND WE DID IT SAFELY [OVERLAPPING] THAT WE PROVIDED ONE OF THE FIRST OPEN FACE TO FACE MEETINGS AROUND, SO [OVERLAPPING] THANK YOU REGAN FOR STEPPING OUT THERE AND LEADING.
