  2. I'm excited! We're trying out EPGY with one highly #gifted elementary kiddo! Yay for a supportive principal and supportive math director!
  3. At some point schools stopped trusting what parents know about their kids. http://bit.ly/wCgzT by @KimMoldofsky (older post, really good)
  4. @DeborahMersino That's so exciting! Could really work in our HG program. TX schls shy away because EPGY isn't built on the TAKS.

  14. What is it that is so scary about acceleration? It makes such sense to me - and the research supports it.
  15. Schl systems readily work to meet needs of exceptions in Spec Ed. Why is it so hard to apply that to the #gifted? http://bit.ly/1K7zW0
  16. I'm trying to win middle schl set of differentiated menu bks from http://extendamenu.com/win (what a combo! @byrdseedgifted & @gtconsultant)
  17. Does your district assess for #gifted program as requested or during specific window? What are appropriate exceptions?
  18. Four requests to appeal #gifted ID decisions today. Why didn't they appeal in May when I had a committee ready to do the job?
  19. RT @JeanneBernish Gifted Programs: Luxuries or Necessities? http://bit.ly/Wdtes (@JeanneBernish & @KimMoldofsky quoted!) #gifted
