As the students prepare to splash in to summer, educators prepare to splash into renewal and relaxation. Renewal can be found in professional journals and professional development sessions. Relaxation can be found anywhere you want it! Care to join Claire?
Kick off your shoes, put your bare feet up, and delve into what helps you grow personally and professionally. Join me in any of the professional development sessions found on my calendar. We will kick off our shoes and have a great time learning together.

An LEA will provide training to enable teachers to teach and address the needs of students with different learning styles, particularly with disabilities, students with special learning needs (including students who are gifted and talented), and students with limited English proficiency; and to improve student behavior in the classroom and identify early and appropriate interventions to help these students.
Response to Intervention for the Gifted in a regular classroom is a process that evaluates students’ reactions to appropriate curriculum. Appropriate curriculum includes research-based management and instructional strategies.
Response to Intervention for the Gifted includes appropriate instruction to observe behaviors particular to gifted learners. These observations lead to screening and identification of students for services.
Response to Intervention for the Gifted services include pre and post assessment with documentation to ensure student growth that matches learning characteristics.
Response to Intervention for the Gifted offers assessments that guide further educational decisions.

that burns hot as a star.
We change,
grow old in time;
But the fire is who we are."
